Do not use "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" header for proxied DELETE requests.

Closed Administrator requested to merge github/fork/philwhln/master into master

Created by: philwhln

We hit an issue with this node proxy. Webkit-based browsers do not send Content-Length header when there is no content for DELETE. DELETE requests have no content, which causes node-http-proxy to add a "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" header. This causes any upstream Nginx server to fail with a 411.

Changes with nginx 0.3.12                26 Nov 2005

*) Bugfix: if the client sent the
   "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" header
   line, then nginx returns the 411 error.
