Description
From https://github.com/owncloud/android/issues/3951
If Content-Length header is missing, we should take a look to the checksum to assure the downloaded file is correct. That comes from another header.

Research direction
Start by reading the linked issue 3951 and tracing the Android download flow that handles a missing Content-Length header. Identify the checksum header and the point where downloaded files can be verified. Done means downloads without Content-Length are checked for correctness, with a documented test plan and QA coverage.
