Hi,

I've managed to locate the problem you've pin-pointed and to (hopefully) fix
it. The solution is to always call Curl_client_write (at the beginning of
Curl_httpchunk_read) regardless of the actual chunk parsing state. This also
makes the code simpler (which is always a good sign of a correct fix :) .
The patch against the current cvs version is attached (as a separate file,
not to be confused with the tiny patch below).

As you recall debugging the problem was a challenge by itself, due to the
varying nature of your testing code which didn't reply to my requests in the
same manner it replied to yours. I did try to simulate the problem using a
self-made script, and with using it, the fix seems ok. I do ask you however
to review it again on your environment.

Lastly, I noticed that when running curl with the --trace option, the
produced output does NOT contain the terminating CRLF of the response.
Perhaps it is intentional, but if it isn't, here is a tiny patch to fix it
