HTTP 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?

 

Regards, Darshan

    Dear Boneyard, Basically we are F5's partner in UAE and got this case reported by our of the customers. However I'd manage to answer them, but wanted to understand in which cases server uses "Transfer-Encoding: chunked". Some uses cases and advantages/disadvantages of this header.
