Description:
------------
I get the error message "Error Fetching http body, No Content-Length, connection closed or chunked data [faultcode]" when try to communicate with Sybase EAServer via SOAP.
When redirecting the web services via a Proxy-Plugin in an iPlanet webserver everything works ok.
It seems that EAServer sends some bad encoded HTTP body.
When changing the SOAP extension code to only support HTTP/1.0, everything works.
How about introducing an additional option to SoapClient named "http_version" that can be set to 1.1 or 1.0 (default 1.1). At this time "1.1" is hardcoded into php_http.c.
When 1.0 is on, "Connection:" should be assumed as "close".

Something other:
If the extension CURL is used, why not use CURL for sending SOAP requests?

Reproduce code:
---------------
<h1>SOAP Test</h1>
<?php
    $ws=new SoapClient("http://ws.pangaea.de:8084/ws/services/WebServices?wsdl",array('trace'=>TRUE));
    try {
        $res=$ws->metadata("10.1594/PANGAEA/206854");
    } catch (SoapFault $sf) {
        echo "<pre>".print_r($sf)."</pre>";
    }
    echo "<h2>Request</h2><pre>".htmlspecialchars($ws->__getLastRequest())."</pre><h2>Response</h2><pre>".htmlspecialchars($ws->__getLastResponse())."</pre>";
    echo "<h2>Decoded</h2><pre>";
    print_r($res);
?>
</pre>

Expected result:
----------------
no SoapFault

The problem also sometimes occurs even with HTTP/1.0. After checking this, it seems that EAServer does not send a Content-Length! Can we change this in a way that get_http_body also accepts a zero content-length?

I don't think we should add workarounds around other buggy products. This is violating the RFC iirc.

incorrect. The EAServer does respond with HTTP/1.0. And in HTTP/1.0 you can leave out the Content-Length (if unknown), because chunked encoding cannot be used with 1.0

Fixed in CVS HEAD and PHP_5_0.

Works fine. You even found the new URL of weservice during testing with our application server... :)

You probably posted incomplete HTTP response. It must be terminated with 0-size chunk. The failure could occur because of error in "chunced" response or incomplete response. 
I think the problem is in your SOAP server software.
