Description

Traffic Server strips the request body from DELETE requests, while leaving the Content-Length header intact.

Ideally Traffic Server should preserve the request body if a Content-Length header is present. There's nothing explicitly forbidding request bodys for DELETE requests in the HTTP spec.

If the body is stripped, the Content-Length header should be removed as well, otherwise backend servers might hang while waiting for the request body.
