Benoit Chesneau 41ec7527db fix: keep Content-Length on HEAD and 304 responses
RFC 9110 §6.4.2 forbids Content-Length only on 1xx and 204 responses.
HEAD MAY include the Content-Length the same GET would return, and 304
MAY include the Content-Length the unconditional response would carry.
WSGI preserves app-supplied Content-Length on those statuses; ASGI was
stripping it indiscriminately for any no-body response.

Split the predicate: _response_forbids_content_length() returns True
only for 1xx/204; _strip_body_framing_headers(headers, status) always
strips Transfer-Encoding (no body, no chunked terminator) and strips
Content-Length only when forbidden.

Gunicorn 'Green Unicorn' is a Python WSGI HTTP Server for UNIX. It's a pre-fork worker model ported from Ruby's Unicorn project. The Gunicorn server is broadly compatible with various web frameworks, simply implemented, light on server resource usage, and fairly speedy.

New in v25: Per-app worker allocation for dirty arbiters, HTTP/2 support (beta)!

Quick Start

pip install gunicorn
gunicorn myapp:app --workers 4

For ASGI applications (FastAPI, Starlette):

gunicorn myapp:app --worker-class asgi

Features

  • WSGI support for Django, Flask, Pyramid, and any WSGI framework
  • ASGI support for FastAPI, Starlette, Quart
  • HTTP/2 support (beta) with multiplexed streams
  • Dirty Arbiters (beta) for heavy workloads (ML models, long-running tasks)
  • uWSGI binary protocol for nginx integration
  • Multiple worker types: sync, gthread, gevent, eventlet, asgi
  • Graceful worker process management
