zope.publisher sets Content-Length header for 304 Not Modified

Bug #235779 reported by Christian Zagrodnick on 2008-05-29

For a Not Modified status there should not be a content-length header, because there is no content.

Currently there is "Content-Length: 0" spit out which (for instance) let's wget fetch the page again because "length changed".

Workaround is to pass a non-string result (one implementing IResult) to such `setResult`.
