Right, but not in this particular case, when all the available content (< 2K) is
sent as one chunk. One does incur an overhead of two headers (for a payload
chunk and a closing chunk), but IMHO such overhead is negligible.

The current architecture of HttpClient is simply broken. Period. It is in a dire
need of a complete overhaul. But we do try to make things better, not worse,
until we finally get a change to fix the HttpClient fundamentals. The attempt to
implement deferred header writing on top of the existing architecture does not
seem to make things better (at least IMHO)
