Because it’s always enabled and you cannot configure anything.

Ok thanks Piotr.

Where can I get docs about what that module does though?

Is there a way to disable it?

Thanks

PS: Actually, maybe I’m looking at the wrong place. I’m looking at  
trying to  
disabling the Transfer-Encoding usage of NGinx. Any ideas?

Looking at the official documentation is always a good idea:
