Re: Error - 411 Length Required (on Commit)

I think this is another instance of a proxy not supporting chunked
Transfer-Encoding. For a commit to a 1.7 server the client sends a
chunked POST, the proxy responds with a 411, and the client shows the
error. For a commit to a 1.6 server the client sends a chunked
PROPFIND, the proxy responds with a 411, the client fails to notice the
411 but still gives an error since the response doesn't contain the
requested properties. This will probably be fixed in Subversion's
libsvn_ra_serf rather than serf itself.
