Chunked Transfer Encoding
-------------------------

For performance reasons the HTTP/1.1 chunked transfer encoding is
used frequently to transfer variable length objects.  This avoids
needing to produce large results in memory to compute the proper
content-length.

Note: you cannot rely on HTTP/1.1 being supported by an intermediate 
proxy; you might have to handle HTTP/1.0, where the data is terminated 
by connection close.
