WebClient and WebChunkedStream

Hello

In the WebClient package there is a class WebChunkedStream.
It is a subclass of ReadStream

The comment says
"Can process chunked data."

Instance variables
sourceStream and
chunkSize

It only has 6 instance methods.

The comment of
#nextChunk

"Answer the next chunk from a message using chunked transfer encoding."

Looking at the code seems that Unicode conversion does not play a role here.

However
What is "chunked transfer encoding"?

Regards
Hannes

Re: WebClient and WebChunkedStream

Hi Hannes:

WebChunkedStream is used in WebResponse >>contentStream and it is
related with a way of HTTP to maintain persistent connections (HTTP
1.1 I think).

A bit more of info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chunked_transfer_encoding

HTH.
