Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All WebSphere Application Server users who   *
*                 use IIS, Iplanet or Domino webservers.       *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When sending the response to the        *
*                      client the plugin was not chunking      *
*                      the response even though the            *
*                      application set the                     *
*                      "Transfer-Encoding: Chunked" header     *
*                      in the response.                        *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
When sending the response to the client the plugin was not
chunking the response even though the application set the
"Transfer-Encoding: Chunked" header in the response.  Since
the webserver did not receive the Transfer-Encoding or
Content-Length header the connection was closed after the
response was received and keepalive was not honored.
Problem conclusion
The attribute ChunkedResponse was added to the Config element
in the plugin-cfg.xml.  When ChunkedResponse is set to true
the plugin will chunk the response to the client if the
"Transfer-Encoding : Chunked" header is present in the
response header.  By default the value of ChunkedResponse is
FALSE.

ex.
  <Config ChunkedResponse="True">

This attribute affects behavior of the plugin for the
following webservers:  IIS, Iplanet and Domino.  IHS/Apache
webservers automatically handle chunking the response to
the client.  The ChunkedResponse attribute will be ignored
when using IHS or Apache webservers.
