Already fixed differently. I was mislead by

  if (m_request.bCachedRead)
  {
     m_responseHeader << "HTTP-CACHE";
     // Read header from cache...
     char buffer[4097];
     ...

suggesting the header was cached also. The java.net.URLClassLoader does
check the content-length header line, but seems not to break when it isn't
there.

Thanks,
