>>>my backend is sending chunked response (~100chunks, 100bytes each). it seems varnish then sends it again using chunked encoding but only as one big chunk. the app is sort of a json streaming system and the whole point of sending the responses in chunks is for the client to be able to handle each chunk asap once they are available. unfortunately varnish cumulates it into (which means waits for) one big chunk so the whole advantage of early client processing is gone.

I am setting the do_stream to true but still getting one big chunk. so is the blogpost wrong or has it not been officially released as rpm yet?
