System SSL HTTP CRL request should understand all valid HTTP/1.0 or HTTP/1.1 protocol responses

At the moment System SSL describes the following requirement:
"System SSL uses the HTTP/1.1 protocol to send the HTTP CRL request and requires an HTTP/1.0 or HTTP/1.1 protocol response.
The HTTP response must include a valid content-length field that has the length of the CRL in bytes."

We demand that System SSL should understand all valid HTTP protocol responses.

The certificate revocation check infrastructure is independent of our z/OS platform. The provider of the
infrastructure told us "Every client that sends requests with HTTP Version 1.1, should be able to understand "chunked"
answers - if not requests should be send with HTTP Version 1.0."
For a full verification of the certificate chain System SSL must understand the HTTP response.

    Hello, because CRL Provider is an external outsite the enterprise it is to be exprected, RFC 7230 is re-enforced soon. Causing the failure again.

    That's why it is important to get an outlook for a solution .
    3.1. System SSL docs says: The HTTP response must include a valid content-length field that has the length of the CRL in bytes."
    which is not according to the RFC 7230: 
    A sender MUST NOT send a Content-Length header field in any message that contains a Transfer-Encoding header field.

    Thanks a lot !
