Re: [libmicrohttpd] Chunked encoding POST getting a 411 error

[Christian Grothoff]

You're not incorrect, but likely the first one to try this. I don't
recall anyone ever implementing this feature for uploads. Is there a
good reason why you need it? Usually clients telling the server up-front
how big the upload is, is a good idea, so that the server can reject
uploads that are too large for some reason. I've not yet seen an
application where the client doesn't know the size of the upload (not
saying there isn't one).
