> Post http does not always honor chunked encoding setting.
> From the apache commons documentation regarding the 'setChunked' boolean value,
> "public void setChunked(boolean b)
> specifies the 'chunked' flag.
> Note that the chunked setting is a hint only.  If using HTTP/1.0 chunking is never performed.  Otherwise, even if chunked is false, HttpClient must use chunk coding if the entity length is unknown (-1).
> The default implementation sets the value of the chunked attribute."
> It is believed that the Entity Content Length must be set for the chunked flag to be respected.
