                     16: Chunked transfer encoding and decoding is new in HTTP/1.1. It allows applications
                     17: to use persistent connections while not knowing the content length a priori
                     18: to the response header is generated.
                     19: <P>
                     20: Both the encoder and the decoder are of type
                     21: <A HREF="HTFormat.html#encoding">HTCoder</A> which is defined in the
                     22: <A HREF="HTFormat.html">Stream Pipe Builder</A>. This means that bot the
                     23: encoder and the decoder are registered dynamically and called by the Stream
                     24: Pipe Builder if required.
                     25: <P>
                     26: <B>Note</B>: These streams are <I>not</I> set up by default. They must be
                     27: registered by the application. You can use the default initialization function
