Both sending and receiving chunked data is very useful for HTTP applications. It allows the client or server to send data directly without first having to know how large the payload is.

For this to work, we would need some level of abstraction over the reading of request data in request handlers, as these currently directly read from the read buffers which could contain chunk delimiters etc.
