MHD does as well, the de-chunking of uploaded data happens behind the
scenes with MHD, your application has to do nothing (except, I guess, to
simply *ignore* the transfer-encoding header ;-)).

If you want to see details, look for this in connection.c:

/**
 * Call the handler of the application for this
 * connection.  Handles chunking of the upload
 * as well as normal uploads.
 *
 * @param connection connection we're processing
 */
static void
process_request_body (struct MHD_Connection *connection)
{
  // ...
}

Happy hacking!
