AltostratusHTTP Response Chunking - Real time example?
Hello folks!
Could anyone of you please spend a minute or more to elaborate the real time example of HTTP Response Chunking. I have had referred the following article for clear understanding about the concept.

However cannot imagine in which case it can be useful? Some realtime example?
