Well, i don't know so much, but that doesn't have to do with chunked
encoding, but Partial Content support, right ?
And partial content is requested by client (IE) if Content-length is
very big ( I guess ... )
Maybe, IE requests a PDF file (GET) and  if it sees a Content-length
very big , cuts downloading and re-send a GET request with a range of
bytes.

Chrome looks to perform something like that behaviour
