In reference to my last email... I am in fact not checking return code and was using 0.9.65.
You may disregard this chain. I have moved to 0.9.66 and am adding error checking to confirm it.

The MHD documentation explicitly says that MHD does NOT allow the application to set the content-length header at all. You're likely ignoring an error code you are getting back from the library when trying to set the content-length header. Also, not allowing applications to break the HTTP protocol is a feature, not a bug. (That feature was indeed introduced around the versions you mention ;-).) Happy hacking!
