XHR Sending Content Length for zero-sized and empty POST & PUT

When I implement a change to XMLHttpRequest like in this patch adding the Content-Length: header for empty and zero sized bodies and POST & PUT case in method createRequest() I run into a couple of failures for
http/tests/xmlhttprequest/access-control-*.html which tell me:
"Request header field Content-Length is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Headers."

So is this something that we know need to circumvent on the XHR level / exempt from the header checking? (If so, any suggestions how?)

Or does this mean we're back to a point where it's better to implement that change at the HTTP level?
