Chunked encoding is useful when larger amounts of data are sent to the client and the total size of the response may not be known until the request has been fully processed. For example, when generating a large HTML table resulting from a database query or when transmitting large images.A chunked response looks like this:
```http HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Type: text/plain Transfer-Encoding: chunked
7\r\n Mozilla\r\n 11\r\n Developer Network\r\n 0\r\n \r\n ```

```abnf Transfer-Encoding: chunked Transfer-Encoding: compress Transfer-Encoding: deflate Transfer-Encoding: gzip
// Several values can be listed, separated by a comma Transfer-Encoding: gzip, chunked ```
