Subject: Made it possible to replace the Content-Type: and Content-Length: headers
X-Git-Tag: curl-7_1_1~16
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=349a3aaf5b33406445d394922813cf60b5d3264d;p=thirdparty%2Fcurl.git

Made it possible to replace the Content-Type: and Content-Length: headers
curl issues when doing a regular HTTP post. This should not be taken light-
heartedly though. Replacing them might get you into trouble!
