David,
Chunk coding as well as other transfer encoding schemes are supposed to
be completely transparent to the application layer and therefore
HttpClient exposes no API related to transfer encodings.
If you are absolutely convinced that you have no other option but to
misuse / abuse HTTP protocol in this way, you will have to implement
your own APIs that interact directly with the SessionInputBuffer of the
underlying HTTP connection.
