Hi Sergio, Not for requests, but of course it can generate chunked responses. > We are sending images from a J2ME app, but do not seem to be able to read > the entire xml message that gets sent from the mobile device.

The ThreadSpawn[4] concurrency model with Rainbows!/Zbatery is similar to Mongrel, and can handle slow clients reasonably well. Both Rainbows! and Zbatery work great on *nix, and Zbatery _may_ work on Win32 as well. Unicorn itself is only designed to run behind nginx, so it is wasteful if you're dealing with slow connections from a J2ME mobile app. I don't remember nginx being able to parse chunked requests, but that may have changed. The added benefit of Rainbows!/Zbatery is they can read and process the chunked request in your app incrementally while it's being uploaded.
