Technically it is wrong to refer to it as chunked response as WSGI specification doesn't deal with issue of chunked responses in as much as that term is used in HTTP. Anyway, the short of it is that you should simply not set a Content-Length response header. Rather than return an array of strings, you would use yield to return successive blocks of data for the response. Alternatively, you write a custom iterable with appropriate next() method for returning next block of data. In other words, use a generator like object.
