Hmm... lets see now. We have removed the "identity" encoding in #16 http://www3.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/ticket/16 so 3 becomes simply If a Transfer-Encoding header field (Section 14.41) is present, then the transfer-length is defined by closing the connection. Or perhaps by just clarifying the existing rule 2 so it can not be misread when closing the connection is a valid delimiting metod. From: If a Transfer-Encoding header field is present, then the transfer-length is defined by use of the "chunked" transfer-coding unless the message is terminated by closing the connection. To: If a Transfer-Encoding header field is present, then the transfer-length is defined by use of the "chunked" transfer-coding, unless "chunked" is not the last encoding applied to the message-body in which case the message is terminated by closing the connection.
