Description

I am running Axis2 on Tomcat 7, and get some exception message saying :

From the sec 4.4.3 of http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec4.html, if the server found both Transfer-Encoding header field and a Content-Length header field, the latter MUST be ignored. It might be a bug in Tomcat, but if Axis2 could remove the content-length header in advance, that would be more compatibility and efficiency.
