Any bytes after the request + headers but not including advertised 
payload must be payload.  There's no other option apart from closing 
(e.g. another request is not an option, since the first message has not 
been sent until any advertised payload is sent, or if it's chunked a 0 
chunk has been sent).

So there's no ambiguity and no need for an intermediary to have 
previously received the server response (initial or otherwise).
