Rainbows! users have also run into this problem a few times, too:

Subject: [PATCH] Rack::Chunked and ContentLength middlewares by default

This is needed to match the behavior of Rack::Server for
RACK_ENV=(deployment|development), actually.  This won''t
affect users of other RACK_ENV values.

This change has minor performance consequences, so users
negatively affected should set RACK_ENV to "none" instead for
full control of their middleware stack.

This mainly affects Rainbows!/Zbatery users since they have
persistent connections and /need/ Content-Length or
Transfer-Encoding:chunked headers.
