[ee122] No content length or transfer encoding in http reply

[Daniel Killebrew]

A persistent connection has nothing to do with the reply coming in 
chunked or not. Persistent connection means the server won't close the 
connection after the file is sent.

But if you don't get a content length or chunked header line, you're 
free to gracefully close the connection and indicate the error to the user.
