Re: svn commit: r1495419 - in /subversion/trunk/subversion/libsvn_ra_serf: options.c ra_serf.h serf.c util.c

This has been quoted before, but I'll repeat it again. RFC 2145, Section 2:

"One consequence of these rules is that an HTTP/1.1 message sent to an
 HTTP/1.0 recipient (or a recipient whose version is unknown) MUST be
 constructed so that it remains a valid HTTP/1.0 message when all
 headers not defined in the HTTP/1.0 specification [1] are removed."

Removing the Transfer-Coding: chunked header completely alters the
message. Thus, it cannot be sent to a 1.0 server. This is why you
cannot rely on any particular behavior or response status.
