Yes. That is by design -- HTTP was meant to be extended in that way. Wget is also requesting and accepting `Keep-Alive', using `Range', and so on. Csaba Raduly's patch would break Wget because it doesn't suppose the "chunked" transfer-encoding. Also, its understanding of persistent connection might not be compliant with HTTP/1.1.
