有时候，Web服务器生成HTTP Response是无法在Header就确定消息大小的，这时一般来说服务器将不会提供Content-Length的头信息，而采用Chunked编码动态的提供body内容的长度。
进行Chunked编码传输的HTTP Response会在消息头部设置：
表示Content Body将用Chunked编码传输内容。
Chunked编码使用若干个Chunk串连而成，由一个标明长度为0的chunk标示结束。每个Chunk分为头部和正文两部分，头部内容指定下一段正文的字符总数（十六进制的数字）和数量单位（一般不写），正文部分就是指定长度的实际内容，两部分之间用回车换行(CRLF)隔开。在最后一个长度为0的Chunk中的内容是称为footer的内容，是一些附加的Header信息（通常可以直接忽略）。具体的Chunk编码格式如下：
Chunked-Body = *chunk
”0″ CRLF
footer
CRLF
chunk = chunk-size [ chunk-ext ] CRLF
chunk-data CRLF
”0″ CRLF
footer
CRLF
chunk = chunk-size [ chunk-ext ] CRLF
chunk-data CRLF
hex-no-zero = <HEX excluding “0″>
chunk-size = hex-no-zero *HEX
chunk-ext = *( “;” chunk-ext-name [ "=" chunk-ext-value ] )
chunk-ext-name = token
chunk-ext-val = token | quoted-string
chunk-data = chunk-size(OCTET)
footer = *entity-header
RFC文档中的Chunked解码过程如下：
length := 0
read chunk-size, chunk-ext (if any) and CRLF
while (chunk-size > 0) {
read chunk-data and CRLF
append chunk-data to entity-body
length := length + chunk-size
read chunk-size and CRLF
}
read entity-header
while (entity-header not empty) {
append entity-header to existing header fields
read entity-header
}
Content-Length := length
Remove “chunked” from Transfer-Encoding
read chunk-size, chunk-ext (if any) and CRLF
while (chunk-size > 0) {
read chunk-data and CRLF
append chunk-data to entity-body
length := length + chunk-size
read chunk-size and CRLF
}
read entity-header
while (entity-header not empty) {
append entity-header to existing header fields
read entity-header
}
Content-Length := length
Remove “chunked” from Transfer-Encoding
最后提供一段PHP版本的chunked解码代码：
$chunk_size = (integer)hexdec(fgets( $socket_fd, 4096 ) );
while(!feof($socket_fd) && $chunk_size > 0) {
$bodyContent .= fread( $socket_fd, $chunk_size );
fread( $socket_fd, 2 ); // skip \r\n
$chunk_size = (integer)hexdec(fgets( $socket_fd, 4096 ) );
}
while(!feof($socket_fd) && $chunk_size > 0) {
$bodyContent .= fread( $socket_fd, $chunk_size );
fread( $socket_fd, 2 ); // skip \r\n
$chunk_size = (integer)hexdec(fgets( $socket_fd, 4096 ) );
}
