CUPS- HTTP Content-Length issue

[rahulmode]

I noticed that in CUPS1.1.23, when I connect to the server using

         # nc 10.10.220.231 631
           POST /printers/printer/ HTTP/1.1
           Content-Length:


           \n
           \n




--------------------------------

It's clear from the  source code that, it waits for  2147483647 Number of Bytes !!!!! This may result in possible DOS.

Regarding this issue, I got no info on the forums!
So please, can someone tell why is this issue not handled ..
is this a feature?  if yes how ??

Thanks
Rahul
