Asking, because the documentation looks like it’s a little outdated on
this…
Is Chunked Transfer still not enabled OOTB? This would seem like almost
a mandatory feature of HTTP 1.1 to implement, and the only reference I
could find is to separate source code/module/patch that I would have to
download and recompile all of nginx for?
Has it been implemented or added to the default, pre-compiled packages
and I just can’t see it in the nginx -V output?
I need the ability to upload large content, and this would appear to be
the proper way to do that.
I’m using CentOS 6.x if anyone knows of an up-to-date version of the
nginx binaries that includes what is or was “ngx_chunkin”.

I’m working on it, and it’s expected to be available later this
month.
BTW, if you know examples of real-world use of chunked transfer
encoding by clients - please let me know. AFAIK no browsers use
it, and most widespread example I’m aware of is the webdav client
in Mac OS X.

I wanted to use it in this report-generating pipeline:
The fact that the chunkin module wouldn’t work properly with webdav
due to curl choosing chunking when PUTting stdin, meant I had to break
this into multiple parts and ensure that curl could upload a complete
file from disk. I mentioned the issue here: http://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx/2012-April/033141.html
This increased the complexity of what I was doing, as I now had local
state on disk that had to be managed/cleaned-up/etc.

JFYI, chunked request body patches are available here:
