How to make PHP generate Chunked response

Question

I googled for this problem but there is no answer for it.

I want my PHP script to generate HTTP response in chunked( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chunked_transfer_en

This has gotten a little vauge... if you don't mind big assed chunks, (0x1000 octets or so), then yes, PHP will make them.

PHP will generated the numbered sections, etc.

If you want to send tiny little chunks, as you might do with an AJAX client... well, I've combined the OPs question, with some research on PHP.NET, and it does look like he was on to a good thing.

$ echo -en "GET /chunked/ HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: ec\r\n\r\n" | nc localhost 80

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Whether or not it will eventually squeeze out it out's own (incorrect) chunk count, remains to be seen... but I saw no sign of it.
