    I have been getting lots and lots of errors:

    
2017-11-04 12:46:18: (request.c.1301) POST-request, but content-length missing -> 411

    I have this error happening with all of my wordpress installations.

    I disabled define(‘DISABLE_WP_CRON’,true) to make these errors go away but I think this is not the proper way of fixing this.

    Any suggestions?

    This issue apparently was fixed 2.8
    See https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/8605

    Have you also tried:
    – Flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well as server and/or browser caches. Not just your browser, but any op cache or content network cache as well such as Cloudflare. If you are using SiteLock, manage your caching there.
    – Flushing Managed host caches. Managed WP hosting often has special caches. If your host has a “Purge Varnish” or “Flush Memcache” tool, try that. You can ask your provider to flush memcache and Varnish for you if necessary.
    – deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).
    – switching to the unedited default Theme (Twenty Seventeen.) for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).
    – If the above steps do nt resolve the issue, try MANUALLY updating. Download WordPress again and unzip it. Access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel (consult your hosting provider’s documentation for specifics on these), and delete then replace your copies of everything on the server except the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory with fresh copies from the download. This will effectively replace all of your core files without damaging your content and settings. Please read the Manual Update directions first.

    Like I said, I am running several installations with different plugins and themes. All installations are running different themes and plugins.

    Here is a demo site I have with 4.8.3 and no plugins. The errors are happening:

    2017-11-04 14:24:17: (request.c.1301) POST-request, but content-length missing -> 411

    I am sorry but the flushing of all those cashes will not happen.

    I did the right thing by posting this issue here.

    Thanks for providing WordPress for free.

    Please check if your cURL are up-to-date.
    Because the last time that error popped up was caused by outdated cURL binaries.

    If you find cURL to be up-to-date, I recommend installing the health check plugin and pastebin the debug info and paste the link in the post.
