Research direction

Start by reading list_content_length_3.patch, then compare it with list_content_length.patch, list_content_length_1.patch, and list_content_length_2.patch. Trace the affected library request handling and verify that Content-Length is correct for list and tuple request bodies, with regression coverage if the existing tests identify a suitable location.
