If it's an HTTP 1.1 agent, then it MUST support the chunked transfer encoding. If it doesn't, it should advertise itself as an HTTP 1.0 agent (assuming it meets the minimum requirements of one). I would expect that any HTTP 1.0 agent receiving an HTTP 1.1 message (chunked or not) would fault with a 505 response. But I'm not very familiar with deployed HTTP/1.0 infrastructure.
