--- Comment #1 from Christopher Schultz <ch...@christopherschultz.net> ---
This is actually caused by the servlet API classes which are not a part of
Tomcat. Looking at servlet-api-2.5.jar, you can see this implementation of
HttpServlet.doHead:

protected void doHead(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest,
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse)   throws
javax.servlet.ServletException, java.io.IOException;
  Code:
   0:   new     #11; //class javax/servlet/http/NoBodyResponse
   3:   dup
   4:   aload_2
   5:   invokespecial   #12; //Method
javax/servlet/http/NoBodyResponse."<init>":(Ljavax/servlet/http/HttpServletResponse;)V
   8:   astore_3
   9:   aload_0
   10:  aload_1
   11:  aload_3
   12:  invokevirtual   #13; //Method
doGet:(Ljavax/servlet/http/HttpServletRequest;Ljavax/servlet/http/HttpServletResponse;)V
   15:  aload_3
   16:  invokevirtual   #14; //Method
javax/servlet/http/NoBodyResponse.setContentLength:()V
   19:  return

That's roughly this Java code:

    protected void doHead(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
        throws ServletException, IOException
    {
        NoBodyResponse response = new NoBodyResponse(resp);
        doGet(req, response);
        response.setContentLength();
    }

The NoBodyResponse class is a package-protected class whose setContentLength
method looks like this:

void setContentLength();
  Code:
   0:   aload_0
   1:   getfield        #5; //Field didSetContentLength:Z
   4:   ifne    18
   7:   aload_0
   8:   aload_0
   9:   getfield        #4; //Field
noBody:Ljavax/servlet/http/NoBodyOutputStream;
   12:  invokevirtual   #6; //Method
javax/servlet/http/NoBodyOutputStream.getContentLength:()I
   15:  invokespecial   #7; //Method
javax/servlet/http/HttpServletResponseWrapper.setContentLength:(I)V
   18:  return

That's roughly this Java code:

    void setContentLength()
    {
        if(!didSetContentLength)
            super.setContentLength(noBody.getContentLength());
    }

The field didSetContentLength is only set here:

public void setContentLength(int);
  Code:
   0:   aload_0
   1:   iload_1
   2:   invokespecial   #7; //Method
javax/servlet/http/HttpServletResponseWrapp
er.setContentLength:(I)V
   5:   aload_0
   6:   iconst_1
   7:   putfield        #5; //Field didSetContentLength:Z
   10:  return

Which is this:

    public void setContentLength(int len)
    {
        super.setContentLength(len);
        didSetContentLength = true;
    }

So, since you are not calling setContentLength(int), your Content-Length header
is being clobbered by the servlet API itself.

Try this instead:

    resp.setContentLength(0);
    resp.setHeader("Content-Length", String.valueOf(12345678900L));

I think that will get you around this particular oversight in the API classes.
