The point of chunked encoding is that it's sent out only when a
number of conditions are met:

* The client supports chunked encoding
 - This is implied by a client advertising itself as HTTP/1.1
 - or by clients who explicitly send out the TE request header
   (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.39)
* The server cannot determine the content length.
 - For a User-Agent using a protocol prior to HTTP/1.0, the content
   simply will be sent out without a Content-Length header.

This means that it's very easy to provoke a chunked transfer-encoding
from a module producing dynamic content.
