From 802aa5ae27ce755b94477976397502dc056227c4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Balazs Kovacsics Date: Mon, 22 Jul 2019 14:37:37 +0200 Subject: HTTP: use chunked Transfer-Encoding for HTTP_POST if size unknown If using the read callback for HTTP_POST, and POSTFIELDSIZE is not set, automatically add a Transfer-Encoding: chunked header, same as it is already done for HTTP_PUT, HTTP_POST_FORM and HTTP_POST_MIME. Update test 1514 according to the new behaviour.
