It does not "handle" it in any particular way. It receives it just as it
receives any kind of data.

libcurl (as in the generic library used by whatever), does indeed receive the
data in chunks (passed on to a callback) and the PHP binding is written to
then append the data to a variable that is later returned back.

I don't know if you can take advantage of this piece-by-piece receiving or
not using the current interface provided by the PHP/CURL module.
