Ugh, it sucks that other servers are so tolerant of violations
of the Rack spec. Rainbows! had the same problem:

+yahns is strict about buggy, non-compliant Rack applications.
+Some existing servers work fine without "Content-Length" or
+"Transfer-Encoding: chunked" response headers enforced by Rack::Lint.
+Forgetting these headers with yahns causes clients to stall as they
+assume more data is coming. Loading the Rack::ContentLength and/or
+Rack::Chunked middlewares will set the necessary response headers
+and fix your app.
