Somehow our Github enterprise server returns 411 when the "Content-Lenght" header is not set. The complete error message is (using curl -v): ``` HTTP/1.1 411 Length Required < Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii < Server: Microsoft-HTTPAPI/2.0 < Date: Thu, 06 Jan 2022 15:36:55 GMT < Connection: close < Content-Length: 344 < <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Length Required</TITLE> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" Content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"></HEAD> <BODY><h2>Length Required</h2> <hr><p>HTTP Error 411. The request must be chunked or have a content length.</p> </BODY></HTML> ``` By setting this Header explicitely, this error does no longer occur.
