Here's the "why" for normally using chunked encoding to origin server if client sent to our proxy using chunked encoding: If origin server doesn't support chunked, it wasn't going to work bypassing this proxy or using some other proxy implementations anyway; therefore unlikely that client code would be chunking to a server that doesn't support it (if this configuration only works when an uplevel Apache proxy is in the middle, admin can go a step further and use the sendcl setting to convert from chunked to cl) For the record, what is wrong with that? This is of interest because using chunked potentially results in lower resource use.
