Re: content-length not being set

SiteMesh intentionally supresses the content-length header generated
from the undecorated pages as the size of the page will be different
by the time the decorator is applied.

If you want to explicitly use a content-length header, you'd have to
get your decorator to figure it out and write it. Although this would
require the entire decorated page to be buffered somewhere before it's
written out, otherwise you'd have no way of knowing.

Hope that clears things up.
