Summary0010914: chunked upload by taler-harness?
DescriptionWhen running tests and looking at the traffic with wireshark, I see that the taler-harness uses HTTP *chunked* uploads for the POSTed data, which is just insanely inefficient given that we're not streaming data.

We should (1) check if this also happens by the production wallet (if so: priority up!), and (2) identify the cause (content-length not set early on?) and stop doing this.

We indeed didn't set the content-length.
