httpc: add option to do automatic chunked transfer-encoding
This is specially useful when a client doesn't know in advance the length of the payload (so that it can't set the Content-Length header). Example: -module(httpc_post_stream_test). -compile(export_all). prepare_data() -> crypto:start(), {ok, Fd} = file:open("test_data.dat", [binary, write]), ok = file:write(Fd, lists:duplicate(crypto:rand_uniform(8182, 32768), "1")), ok = file:close(Fd). test() -> inets:start(), ok = prepare_data(), {ok, Fd1} = file:open("test_data.dat", [binary, read]), BodyFun = fun(Fd) -> case file:read(Fd, 512) of eof -> eof; {ok, Data} -> {ok, Data, Fd} end end, %% header 'Transfer-Encoding: chunked' is added by httpc {ok, {{_,200,_}, _, _}} = httpc:request(post, {"http://localhost:8888", [], "text/plain", {chunkify, BodyFun, Fd1}}, [], []), ok = file:close(Fd1).
