The chunked transfer encoding allows the response to be broken up into multiple send calls (potentially spread over a large period of time).

This is useful whenever one does not know the complete size of the response at the outset -- or if the response is generated over a period of time.

An example use case of this is an external handler that implements the WebDAV COPY verb: one might want to provide continuous feedback (say, every 30 seconds) as the third-party copy progress so the client doesn't timeout and give up.
