This is needed for dmapd (http://www.flyn.org/projects/dmapd/index.html) in order to do realtime transcoding of audio data before serving it using libsoup. The stream length is not known until transcoding is complete, but transmission must begin immediately. Presently, I am using chunked encoding, but this may not work with clients that support only HTTP 1.0.

fixed in svn, with a test/example in tests/streaming-test.c

for your purposes, you can probably do:

    if (soup_message_get_http_version (msg) == SOUP_HTTP_1_0) {
        soup_message_headers_set_encoding (msg->response_headers,
                                           SOUP_ENCODING_EOF);
    } else {
        soup_message_headers_set_encoding (msg->response_headers,
                                           SOUP_ENCODING_CHUNKED);
    }

and nothing else needs to be different between the two cases
