Guidelines

The chunked-uploads command controls whether to send documents to the server with Transfer-Encoding: chunked. When the service uses HTTP/1.1, the body of the document can be delimited by either Content-Length or Transfer-Encoding: chunked. While all servers can interpret Content-Length, many applications fail to understand Transfer-Encoding: chunked. For this reason, Content-Length is the standard method.

The use of Content-Length interferes with the ability of the service to fully stream. If you must stream full documents to the target server, set this property to on.

When enabled, the server must be RFC 2616 compatible. Unlike all other HTTP/1.1 features that can be negotiated down at run time, you must know beforehand that the target server is RFC 2616 compatible.
