Chunked POST

Message #89 of 117 |

Can someone remind me what the state of the art is re: chunked POST? From
what I can see, it's allowed, but there's not a good interoperability
story with 1.0, so it's mostly avoided.

What's the official position, and what can a client reasonably expect if
they chunk a POST and there's a 1.1 server somewhere in the message path?

Thanks,
