The Go programming language
9c436ab7dc
Via Russ Ross' bug report on golang-nuts, it was not possible
to send an HTTP request with a zero length body with either a
Content-Length (it was stripped) or chunking (it wasn't set).
This means Go couldn't upload 0-length objects to Amazon S3.
(which aren't as silly as they might sound, as S3 objects can
have key/values associated with them, set in the headers)
Amazon further doesn't supported chunked uploads. (not Go's
problem, but we should be able to let users set an explicit
Content-Length, even if it's zero.)
To fix the ambiguity of an explicit zero Content-Length and
the Request struct's default zero value, users need to
explicit set TransferEncoding to []string{"identity"} to force
the Request.Write to include a Content-Length: 0. identity is
in RFC 2616 but is ignored pretty much everywhere. We don't
even then serialize it on the wire, since it's kinda useless,
except as an internal sentinel value.
The "identity" value is then documented, but most users can
ignore that because NewRequest now sets that.
And adds more tests.

visit http://golang.org/ or load doc/install.html in your web browser.
After installing Go, you can view a nicely formatted
doc/install.html by running godoc --http=:6060
and then visiting http://localhost:6060/doc/install.html.

Binary Distribution Notes
If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set
the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go
directory (the one containing this README). You can omit the
variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild
from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install.html).
You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin
to your shell's path.
For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might
put the following in your .profile:
export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
See doc/install.html for more details.
