, it sends HTTP/1.1 "chunked" requests to its HTTP proxy although you will
access general web sites. The "chunked" body is apparently created on the fly,
each "chunk" as a specific body element generated by a part of P900 code.

So stick a proxy in front of it that waits for the entire body on every request and converts it to a content-length. I am not saying that it isn't possible -- it is just stupid for a general-purpose proxy to do that (just as it is stupid to deploy a cell phone with such a lazy HTTP implementation).
