A new Sun Developer Network article, Handling Chunked Requests in Sun Java System Web Server 7.0, addresses the topic of breaking message bodies into chunks of arbitrary lengths with transfer coding from the HTTP/1.1 protocol. Included are descriptions of how Sun Java System Web Server processes chunked requests and how you can handle those requests in Netscape API (NSAPI) plug-ins.

A sample plug-in accompanies the article to demonstrate the details.
