Thanks for your reply, but I don't think that's correct. It says
"the set of transfer-codings MUST include "chunked", unless the
message is terminated by closing the connection.". That sounds
to me like there is really no problem in having a persistent
connection and chunked transfer encoding.

I think that's because example.com closes the connection, no matter
if you request a persistent connection or not. At least on my end
here.
