 In [changeset:"34571"]:
 {{{

 XML-RPC: `IXR_Server::output()` is notoriously bad at returning the right
 value for the `Content-Length` HTTP header. This header is not required,
 so we will remove it.

 "We could of course remove the content-length header as it is not
 required" was suggested 10 years ago. The IXR library is not maintained.
 Our release is the latest, which occurred in 2010.

 Fixes #2567.
