php-guzzleHow to set the content-length for a Guzzle request in PHP?

The content-length of a Guzzle request in PHP can be set by using the setBody method.

$client = new GuzzleHttp\Client();
$response = $client->request('POST', 'http://httpbin.org/post', [
    'body' => 'Hello World',
    'headers' => [
        'Content-Length' => 11
    ]
]);

The output of the above code will be a response object.
