		// to explicitly say that the ContentLength is zero is
		// to set the Body to nil. But turns out too much code
		// depends on NewRequest returning a non-nil Body,
		// so we use a well-known ReadCloser variable instead
		// and have the http package also treat that sentinel
		// variable to mean explicitly zero.
