Add a Content-Length Header to MIME

Demonstrates the Chilkat Mime.AddContentLength method, which computes the byte length of the entity's serialized body and adds or updates its Content-Length header. It takes no arguments and is a void method. The count is based on the transfer-encoded serialized body.

Note: The file path is relative to the application's current working directory. Absolute paths may also be used. Supply the path to your own file.

Background: Some protocols and consumers want a Content-Length declaring the body size up front. This computes it correctly from the encoded body — the bytes actually written — rather than the decoded content, and updates any existing header so it stays accurate. Call it after the body is final; if you change the body afterward, call it again, or remove the header, since a stale length is worse than none.
