HTTP request and response parameters
Question
I have a situation here regarding POST HTTP request: (host and links used here are up and running)
POST /inventory-check.cgi HTTP/1.1
Host: www.joes-hardware.com
Accept-Encoding: identity
Content-Length: 7
Content-Type: text/plain
item=563
when I send the above request string to the Host, then server sends me weird stuffs (along with expected result)
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Thu, 31 Oct 2013 12:07:48 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.22 (Unix) DAV/2 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 mod_ssl/2.2.22 OpenSSL/1.0.1c
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Type: text/html
6b
<HTML><BODY>
<H1>Joe's Hardware Store Inventory Check</H1>
Yes! Item number 56 is in stock!
</BODY></HTML>
0
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">

<p>3 to /index.html not supported.<br />

</body></html>
I checked the request with urllib module in python and that gives me only the expected output (Here i have omitted response details)
<HTML><BODY>
<H1>Joe's Hardware Store Inventory Check</H1>
Yes! Item number 56 is in stock!
</BODY></HTML>
What am I missing?? Actully I am new to HTTP and have experience in c/c++/python...Any help will be appreciated.. thanks in advance

item = 563是8个字节，但是您声明的Content-Length为7。因此，服务器会看到两个请求，一个是对项目56的有效HTTP请求，另一个是仅由字符3组成的无效HTTP请求，并向您发送两个回复。

Your request lies about the content-length.
That said, it's still a bit odd what the server does with the additional character 3 .
