WCF Content-Length HTTP header on outbound message

I'm in a tough situation in which a Java web service endpoint hosted on an IBM HTTP Server (IHS) requires a Content-Length header, although it supposedly conforms to HTTP/1.1.

WCF Pass extra security data through all service calls

Client side I need to pass a piece of information (for this example lets say a string) to every service call I make.

The solutions I have come across thus far are: 1) Modify message headers as...

Multiple name spaces in a soap fault message causing FaultException deserialization to fail

We're connecting to a web service and the fault message we're getting back isn't deserializing (at all), and no version of class that I can make will deserialize correctly.
