Probably.  Technically speaking, it should work both with the Content-Length
set and without (using chunked encoding).  This workaround should work on
other containers and clients, but I would really prefer to follow IIS's
implementation as closely as possible (using the explicit content length).
There is a much smaller risk of breaking somebody that way.  I'll submit
a bug with the Tomcat guys.
