Hi,

Though there are some existing discussion related to the topic
"Content-Length Vs Chunked Transfer Encoding" on various non-curl sites, I
wanted to understand how it works with libcurl.
I am using curl in my client application and as part of the application, I
show progress bar for upload and download activity. The old server used to
send Content-Length header in the response to GET requests, consistently.
But now the new server, does not send Content-Length, but sends Chunked
Transfer Encoding. This is breaking my progress functionality as I always
get "0" for total download size.
Is there a way for me to still get the progress bar going, though the
server does not send Content-Length? Because when contacted the server
guys, they told me they would no more be using Content-Length.

Thanks,
-Sandeep
