Browser.open() hangs if Transfer-Encoding: chunked

[gbrindisi]

Hello there,

I am having issues when trying to open pages when getting Transfer-Encoding: chunked in responses.

Browser.open() simply hangs without raising any exception. I don't have stacktrace to show, but here is the debug output of the request:
