Answer

POST requests require the Content-Length header to be set.

Salesforce does this automatically if you add a body to your HttpRequest. If you don’t add a body then you need to manually set it to zero.

If you add the following to your callout you should be ok.

req.setHeader('Content-Length', '0');
