@exceptionfactory Yes, it depends on the client, but the client can be a reverse proxy as well, and `Transfer-Encoding: chunked` in the forwarded requests is actually very common in those applications. It reduces the RTT by letting the server (ie. NiFi) begin to parse & process the request, while the body is still transferring. Web browsers and API clients normally don't send this header, but proxies do, because of potentially smaller memory footprint, due to less data being buffered on fast networks, while reading on one end and writing on the other at the same time. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
