Right, chunked encoding was introduced in 1.1 so doing a 1.0 request is a
certain way to avoid chunked encoding responses. Although 1.0 has a few
disadvantages, like not being as good on persistent connections etc.

Yes it should. Can you repeat this problem on a public URL and perhaps even
show us an example snippet that repeats the problem?
