There was a problem hiding this comment.
I wouldn't bother with the isdigit() call, but use try..except ValueError, TypeError instead: isdigit would return True for digits that int() would still fail to convert, for example ₂. It is unlikely that this would happen in real world, but it is theoretically possible.
I would also add a unit test for this change.

We encountered errors with non-numeric content lengths. Exceptions are threw with 500. It's better to handle ill-formatted HTTP headers.
