Ticket #1104 (new defect)

Description

Section 3.6 of the HTTP 1.1 spec specifies, albeit indirectly, that the Transfer-Encoding header applies to all HTTP messages, not only responses:

A server which receives an entity-body with a transfer-coding it does not understand SHOULD return 501 (Unimplemented), and close the connection. A server MUST NOT send transfer-codings to an HTTP/1.0 client.

Lighttpd, as far as I can tell, does not support requests with a chunked transfer encoding, which would be desirable when sending multipart messages. Also, if you specify the chunked coding and omit the Content-Length header, Lighttpd will return a 411 error.
