Guido, it does appear that this server implements chunked encoding if you:

1. Use a status of 200, 203, or 206
2. Don't include a Content-Length header
3. *Yield* each chunk from your application as a separate block (i.e. don't 
use write())

Sylvain, it appears that the above code has a bug in its chunked support if 
an application uses write() calls.  It will set the encoding to chunked, 
but it won't actually write the data in chunks when write() is called.  You 
might want to pass that information back to the CherryPy developers, 
although I think there are probably some reading this list.
