 Hi,

 I think I have found a bug in 4.1.0-tp1.

 As per subject, if I POST without specifying a body and without setting a
 content-length header, I'm getting "503 Backend fetch failed" from
 varnish, after a few seconds pause. I can see that varnish is sending the
 request to the backend and getting a response back. I'm using curl like
 so:


 {{{
 curl -v -XPOST http://<ip>/ -H 'Host: <hostname>'
 }}}


 This doesn't happen with varnish 3 or 4.0.3.

 Please let me know if you need more information.

 Regards,

 Matt
