Niels Provos df97fca9ca From Scott Lamb:
* Allow the user to set the Content-Length: then stream a reply.
  This is useful for large requests of a known size. Added unit test.

* Don't send a response body on HEAD requests, 1xx status codes, 204
  status codes, or 304 status codes, as described in RFC 2616 section
  4.3. (Doing otherwise causes problems - in particular, if a 304 has a
  chunked body (even an empty one), Safari 3.1.1 issues and then fails
  the next request on the connection with the non-sequitur error message
  "Too many HTTP redirects"!)

* Specify a default Content-Type: when a response body is required, not
  when we have data in the response buffer by the time we make the
  header. (I.e., do this on evhttp_send_reply_start() for consistency.)

* Don't expect a body in response to HEAD requests.

To build libevent, type

$ ./configure && make

     (If you got libevent from the subversion repository, you will
      first need to run the included "autogen.sh" script in order to
      generate the configure script.)

Install as root via

# make install

You can run the regression tests by

$ make verify

Before, reporting any problems, please run the regression tests.

To enable the low-level tracing build the library as:

CFLAGS=-DUSE_DEBUG ./configure [...]
