Although message bodies can 627 be chunked (<xref target="chunked.encoding"/>) and implementations often 628 make parts of a message available progressively, this is not required, and 629 some widely-used implementations only make a message available when it is 630 complete. Furthermore, while most proxies will progressively stream messages, 631 some amount of buffering will take place, and some proxies might buffer 632 messages to perform transformations, check content or provide other services. 633 </t> 634 <t> 635 Therefore, extensions to and uses of HTTP cannot rely on the availability of 636 a partial message, or assume that messages will not be buffered. There are 637 strategies that can be used to test for buffering in a given connection, but 638 it should be understood that behaviors can differ across connections, and 639 between requests and responses. 640 </t> 622 641 </section> 623 642 … … 5896 5915 "HTTP-Version should be redefined as fixed length pair of DIGIT .
