Yes, I confused CTE and TE, again.  Some years ago all
I wanted to know was how I can disable chunking, that
turned out to be simple, use "GET whatever HTTP/1.0".

Okay, so for some chunked gzipped content the MD5 is
apparently for the gzipped content.  I also read #40,
if you want to update all RFC 4229 registrations the
IANA considerations could get very impressive, maybe
a bulk update will do, let IANA replace 4229 by 2616bis
for <huge list of header fields defined in 2616bis>.
