include two Content-Length headers. This causes some tools to break (arguably a bug in certain Python libraries).

At any rate, generating only one Content-Length header would be more efficient in the use of network resources in a small way.

    Hi Fred,

    Thanks for the report, but could you file the request through one of the ways listed at http://sf.net/support ? This issue isn't related to the Allura platform, rather other services provided by SF.
