### Describe the usage question you have. Please include as many useful details as possible. [Chunked transfer encoding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chunked_transfer_encoding) is commonly used in HTTP/1.1. In chunked transfer encoding, special sequences of bytes are used to separate the chunks and as the terminating chunk. But what happens if those sequences of bytes occur inside binary Arrow IPC data, for example in a binary array? I am almost certain (based on an understanding of how HTTP/1.1 clients work) that this will not cause any problems, but we should test to be fully certain. To test, we could for example use the [simple Python GET example](https://github.com/apache/arrow-experiments/tree/main/http/get_simple/python/client), replacing the schema and the definition of `GetPutData` with the following: ```py schema = pa.schema([('a', pa.binary())]) def GetPutData(): arrays = [pa.array('4\r\nWiki\r\n7\r\npedia i\r\nB\r\nn \r\nchunks.\r\n0\r\n\r\nabcdefg', type=pa.binary())] batches = [pa.record_batch(arrays, schema), pa.record_batch(arrays, schema)] return batches ``` ### Component(s) Python -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
