Description

ACE-435 stated that the DeploymentServlet did not always send a Content-Length header. After some discussion, we came to the conclusion that the effort we need to go through to determine the Content-Length in all situations is beyond reasonable with regards to the performance.
Therefore, we need to remove the fix made for ACE-435 and ensure that the Content-Length is no longer send for deployment packages. We deliberately deviate from the HTTP-spec (RFC 2616) a bit, but this is acceptable in this situation as we're not providing a general purpose implementation anyway...
