You may have missed an important part of an earlier answer by Mark : chunked encoding is a
transfer encoding.
It means that if you have
client <----> gateway <----> tomcat
then it is very possible that between tomcat and the gateway there would be chunked
encoding, but between the gateway and the client there would not. Or vice-versa. Or the
chunks may have different sizes. The gateway can decide, because it does not affect the
*content* of the message. So if you rely on the fact that the tomcat application would add
something to the chunk header, and the client would automatically see it, you may have a
problem.
