When decoding chunked (section 3.6): 1) chunk-size is an arbitrary length hex string; however, it does not say anything about byte order. I presume, since the first digit cannot be zero except for the ending chunk, that it is intended to be little endian? 2) the spec is very vague on chunk-ext: it appears to be an extenstion mechanism; what am I supposed to do if I don't understand it? I presume ignore it. 3) what is the point of the CRLF after the chunk-data? We already know the size; it is only likely to introduce bugs in implementations that decide (falsely) that it is safe to just scan for CRLF. (a year too late once again) Thank You, Richard L. Gray
