Panic over... I was reading the previous version of the HTTP spec. In Roy's new draft the chunked encoding includes a footer...! It all now works! One caveat, signatures need to have a header indication pointing out that there will be a signature following... ie WRAPPED . http/1.1 Authenticate: xxx, KEY:INBAND:24623629486 Content-Transfer-Encoding: chunked GET foo.html HTTP/1.1 Accept: text/html Authenticate-Footer: dskjqgw4981251i2498123== One nit for Roy, the spec as written specifies that chunked encodings use the string "0" to indicate end of stream as opposed to a length of 0. The difference is that a conformant application could use "0000" as a length which according to the spec would specify a chunk _not_ end of chunks :-( Phill
