proposed patch

There are some differences between this implementaion and Firefox:
1) For null data, "Content-Length: 0" header is sent (isn't sent in Firefox).
Looks like better behavior to me; besides, I don't think we have a choice,
because this header is added by NSURLConnection.
2) HEAD is not implemented - there seems to be a crashing bug in
NSURLConnection, <rdar://4460899>.
3) After #2 is fixed, we won't be sending a body in HEAD requests, just like we
don't send it in GET ones. Firefox ignores the body in GET requests, but sends
it in HEAD ones, which looks like a bug to me.

Also fixed a bug: send(null) was actually sending characters "null" instead of
an empty body.
