V4.1 HTTP/1.0 responses without Content-Length header results in empty response

Hi,

An old perl LWP script uses HTTP/1.0 posts to an apache backend. The 
generated backend response has no Content-Length header. Varnish 4.1.0 
doesn't read the body (got a read error) and delivers a "Content-Length: 
0"  response back to the script. I know - http/1.0 its old and 
should/must be avoided and the problems are gone after updating the 
script to use http/1.1.

But is this varnish behavior correct?

best regards
tom
