"Chunked transfer encoding is a streaming data transfer mechanism available in version 1.1 of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). In chunked transfer encoding, the data stream is divided into a series of non-overlapping "chunks". The chunks are sent out and received independently of one another. No knowledge of the data stream outside the currently-being-processed chunk is necessary for both the sender and the receiver at any given time.
|
|
|
|
Each chunk is preceded by its size in bytes. The transmission ends when a zero-length chunk is received. The chunked keyword in the Transfer-Encoding header is used to indicate chunked transfer." -- [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chunked_transfer_encoding)

|
|
|
```C++
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
void get_method_handler( const shared_ptr< Session > session )
|
|
{
|
|
session->yield( OK, "8\r\nrestbed \r\n", { { "Transfer-Encoding", "chunked" } }, [ ]( const shared_ptr< Session > session )
|
|
{
|
|
//pause to simulate backend processing.
|
|
session->sleep_for( chrono::milliseconds( 500 ), [ ]( const shared_ptr< Session > session )
|
|
{
|
|
session->yield( "10\r\nchunked encoding\r\n", [ ]( const shared_ptr< Session > session )
|
|
{
|
|

|
|
} );
|
|
} );
|
|
} );

|
|
|
int main( const int, const char** )
|
|
{
|
|
auto resource = make_shared< Resource >( );

|
|
