As breser pointed on IRC all HTTP/1.1 applications MUST support
chunked transfer encoding. From RFC2616:
[[[
All HTTP/1.1 applications MUST be able to receive and decode the
"chunked" transfer-coding, and MUST ignore chunk-extension extensions
they do not understand.
]]]

And server is application:
[[[
server
An application program that accepts connections in order to service
requests by sending back responses.
]]]

So right solution is fix/upgrade proxy. May be we can add client-side
configuration option to force using HTTP/1.0 in Subversion.
