I am using libcurl-7.16.0. I do see the response header saying chunk
encoding.

That's right! I meant HTTP 1.1. The application was written for HTTP
1.0.

If I set HTTP_VERSION as 1.0 for libcurl, I see the http chunks getting
coagulated. So, assuming that was the right thing to do, it does work.
But if I didn't specify HTTP version 1.0 to be used, it should still
coagulate chunks right??
