Certainly your prerogative. I don't care for bugzilla, either...

- it is not a bug (the request is invalid)
So please close your report.

As I have acknowledged, the validity of the POST Request is debatable. However, there is only a "memo" on which you are basing your classification. Tomcat's behavior should be governed by the RFC 2616 specification. Tomcat's response is not compliant with RFC 2616 and you have offered no reasons why Tomcat should not be compliant with the specification. I've also demonstrated that Tomcat's behavior for bodiless HTTP 1.1 POST Requests is terrible (Tomcat will still attempt to read a message body and will not send a Response until the Socket Read times out).

Given my thoughts on the matter, I think it is appropriate for the Tomcat community to act on the bug report as they see fit...


FYI, I tested TC behavior with an HTTP 1.1 POST without a message body and no content-length. It worked, properly. However, I noticed an 8 second delay between request and response. I assume TC was blocking in a socket read
until it timed out... That doesn't seem very desirable...
Possible to target the fix for 5.5.14?

No, it's already out. To be honest, I don't really care about the issue, and you should still be challenging the test.

5.5.15, then. I see that TC Clustering support is broken in 5.5.14, anyway... I won't comment on challenging/not challenging the test.
