Requirement for handling bad chunking #413

Closed mnot closed 4 years ago

mnot commented 11 years ago

3.3.1 Transfer-Coding -- "A server that receives a request message with a transfer-coding it does not understand SHOULD respond with 501..." There isn't a corresponding requirement for when 'chunked' is not the final coding, or occurs more than once. Should there be?

I don't think there needs to be. 400 is available in general. 501 is mentioned here because the message is valid.
