Description

[Felix Hupfeld]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050223 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050223 Firefox/1.0.1

XMLHttpRequest() with verb POST adds extraneous \r\n to end of body string
without accounting for it in the Content-Length header.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
sendRESTRequest( '/', 'POST', 'test', null, null );

function sendRESTRequest( url, verb, body, handler, token ) 
{
    current_request_token = token;

    if( window.XMLHttpRequest ) 
        current_request = new XMLHttpRequest();
    else if( window.ActiveXObject) 
        current_request = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
    
    if( current_request )
    {      
        current_request.onreadystatechange = handler;
        current_request.open( verb, url, true );
        current_request.send( body );    
    }
}

Not a JavaScript Engine bug. -> Core/DOM Mozilla Extensions
