>Release:        1.2.1
>Environment:
Don't know, this is observed behavir on a remote server www.looksmart.com.
>Description:
When using chunked transfer-encoding, the server is sending back one more byte
in its first chunk than it reports in the chunk-size header. This appears to
happen for other chunks as well, but not consistently. E.g., if the header
says "f3e" there are actually 0xf3f data bytes before the CR/LF appears.
>How-To-Repeat:
http://www.looksmart.com/

This can be verified using, e.g.:
telnet www.looksmart.com 80 > output
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: www.looksmart.com

Then examine the output file by hand. (I use vi to strip the headers, then
hex dump the remainder of the file to get to the proper byte offset.)
>Fix:
I haven't built this server, just reporting what I've observed from other
running servers. I searched for "chunked" in the bug database and didn't find
anything similar, thus this report. I also read the Changes file, and found no
explicit mention. My apologies if this is already fixed in 1.2.4.
