Mark I'm not sure I fully agree with your last answers. The purpose, to me, would be to extend the capabilities of chunked transfer encoding rather than to implement chunked transfer encoding. They are optional after all. Being optional then I would view them moe as a feature or extension but this is merely wording so I am splitting hairs here.


You may have missed an important part of an earlier answer by Mark : chunked encoding is a transfer encoding.
It means that if you have

client <----> gateway <----> tomcat

then it is very possible that between tomcat and the gateway there would be chunked encoding, but between the gateway and the client there would not. Or vice-versa. Or the chunks may have different sizes. The gateway can decide, because it does not affect the *content* of the message. So if you rely on the fact that the tomcat application would add something to the chunk header, and the client would automatically see it, you may have a problem.
