Re: RE: IPP> Implementation question re.: chunking

["Carl Kugler" <[e-mail]>]

HTTP/1.1 imlies chunking.  Quote:  draft-ietf-http-v11-spec-rev-03, "Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1", section 3.6.1, "Chunked Transfer Coding":

    "All HTTP/1.1 applications MUST be able to receive and decode the “chunked” transfer coding..."
