Public bug reported:

Jenkins supports keep_alive http option, and when
JenkinsClient:build_job() is called, normally the response contains the
'content-length' header, for example:

  ipdb> response.status_code
  201
  ipdb> response.headers
  {'Date': 'Mon, 04 Jun 2018 11:52:00 GMT', 'Content-Length': '0', 'Location': 'http://10.70.0.15:8081/queue/item/11/', 'X-Content-Type-Options': 'nosniff', 'Server': 'Jetty(9.4.z-SNAPSHOT)'}

But if Jenkins master is behind HAProxy with enabled 'option httpclose',
which disables keep_alive, the response doesn't contain 'content-length'
header:

  ipdb> response.status_code
  201
  ipdb> response.headers
  {'Date': 'Mon, 04 Jun 2018 11:55:36 GMT', 'Connection': 'close', 'Location': 'http://10.60.0.90:8081/queue/item/16/', 'X-Content-Type-Options': 'nosniff', 'Server': 'Jetty(9.4.z-SNAPSHOT)'}

Other fields that are checked in JenkisClient:_response_handler() are empty in both cases:
  ipdb> response.content
  ''
  ipdb> response.text
  u''

As the result: JenkinsClient raises an exception like:

  File ".../local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/jenkins/__init__.py", line 1280, in build_job
    'POST', self.build_job_url(name, parameters, token)))
  File ".../lib/python2.7/site-packages/jenkins/__init__.py", line 565, in jenkins_request
    self._request(req))
  File ".../lib/python2.7/site-packages/jenkins/__init__.py", line 523, in _response_handler
    "empty response" % self.server)
jenkins.EmptyResponseException: Error communicating with server[http://10.60.0.90:8081/]: empty response

However, the response is valid because the meaningful part of the
response is the header 'Location'.
