Re: How to judge length if no Content-Length in header is assigned.

See RFC2616. It has a very well worded section on HTTP message
delimiting.

Content-length has nothing to do with HTML. Is is a HTTP header and
has relevance to HTTP message delimiting. HTML is what is carried
within a HTTP message of content-type text/html.
