Requires:
Default Value:	chunked_request_body_max_size 64 KB
Suggested Config:
A broken or confused HTTP/1.1 client may send a chunked HTTP request to Squid. Squid does not have full support for that feature yet. To cope with such requests, Squid buffers the entire request and then dechunks request body to create a plain HTTP/1.0 request with a known content length. The plain request is then used by the rest of Squid code as usual. The option value specifies the maximum size of the buffer used to hold the request before the conversion. If the chunked request size exceeds the specified limit, the conversion fails, and the client receives an “unsupported request” error, as if dechunking was disabled. Dechunking is enabled by default. To disable conversion of chunked requests, set the maximum to zero. Request dechunking feature and this option in particular are a temporary hack. When chunking requests and responses are fully supported, there will be no need to buffer a chunked request.
