Looks useful to me, for the reasons you outlined and a bunch more. See
for example the NTLM auth chunked discussion a year ago or so..

For responses it's meaningful even without chunked.

I don't see anything wrong with it, especially not with the length being
an estiamte and not the exact expected lenght.
