Chunked transfer encoding is a data transfer mechanism in the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) that allows HTTP data to be reliably delivered between a web server and a client application, usually a web browser, without knowing in advance of transmission the size of the entire message body. This is achieved by splitting the data payload of the message in small parts (chunks) and transmitting with each chunk its size. The data transfer is terminated by a final chunk of length zero. This makes it possible to transmit dynamically generated content in web pages. The chunked method is only available in version 1.1 of the HTTP protocol (HTTP/1.1).
