posting through https with no parameters

Hi,
In a script I receive a redirect with a POST method. There are no parameters so the request entity-body has 0 length. The https 1.1 post message generated by LWP (LWP::Protocol::http) does not include a 'Content-Length: 0' header and the server closes the connection (Netscape-Enterprise/4.1). With this header the communication works ok. IE 6 and Mozilla work this way.
Should it be considered a modification of LWP::Protocol::http or LWP::Protocol::https to incorporate this behavior?

I have made an alteration to LWP::Protocol::http request method:

my $req_buf = $socket->format_request($method, $fullpath, @h);
