        For static pages that haven't been mangled by an intermediate
        proxy, there should be a content length header. Dynamic pages,
        including SSI and, sometimes, those mangled by an ISP, either
        there will be no length information at all, or the page will
        be returned in chunks, each with a length.

        Aborting pages is not particularly compatible with persistent
        connections, although things ought to work.
