Correction, it turns out indeed it has to be removed. If it isn't stripped
from the response, somehow the download stops after a single block of data
has been received.
Since the content-length is saved in self.length, the following could be a
workaround (and it does work fine here):
Add the Content-Length header again after calling setConnectionParams, at
the bottom of allHeadersReceived (line 195 twisted/web2/channel/http.py)
self.inHeaders.setHeader('Content-Length', str(self.length))
What exactly goes wrong with setConnectionParams when the Content-Length
header is not (temporarily) removed is not 100% clear to me, so there
probably are better solutions for this problem.
