In httpcore-4.1.1,

I'd like to take advantage of the line by line facility of SocketInputBuffer to 
read a continuous stream of lines from a server as follows:

conn = new DefaultHttpClientConnection();
Socket socket = new Socket(host.getHostName(), host.getPort());
conn.bind(socket, params);
inbuffer = new SocketInputBuffer(socket, BUFSIZE, params);
lineBuf = new CharArrayBuffer(BUFSIZE);
...
while (streaming)
{
  lineBuf.clear();
  if (inbuffer.readLine(lineBuf) < 0)
  {
    streaming = false;
    continue;
  }
  System.out.println(lineBuf.toString());
}

This works as long as the stream is not chunked.  But if the server sends a 
Transfer-encoding: chunked stream, then the chunk metadata appears in the 
stream.  The CharArrayBuffer/SocketInputBuffer API appears to be at a lower 
level than ChunkedInputStream.  Do I need to managed the (de)chunking myself in 
this case, or have I missed the way to take advantage of ChunkedInputStream?
