 For requests that use "chunked" transfer encoding, the body provided by

+------- Additional Comments From gonzalo at ximian.com  2005-12-08 13:58 -------
+xsp is a 1.0 server and announces itself as such so chunked encoding
+is not supported (*writing* chunked is supported by System.Web).
+
+IIS has it's own HttpWorkerRequest derived class to handle chunked
+encoding, as they support 1.1.
+
+When you use apache+mod_mono+mod-mono-server, apache handles the
+chunked encoding (and other HTTP 1.1 features) transparently.
+
+What you want is that xsp (standalone) supports 1.1 chunked encoding,
+so I'm setting the priority to 'wishlist'.
+
+Patches to support this are welcome, of course. And, given that xsp
+would announce itself as HTTP/1.1, compliance with other 1.1 'MUST'
+features would be a plus.
+
+Recently I implemented HttpListener (.NET 2.0) which has support for
+reading/writing chunked data. Feel free to take code/ideas from there,
+it's in System.Net namespace. I'd like to "backport" some of the stuff
+I did for HttpListener into xsp but right now i don't have the cycles
+to do so and don't know when I'll have them.
