chunked transfer-encoding and gzip content-encoding

[thaakshana raala <thaakshana@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,
I've checked a lot of places in the web to find a answer to this doubt including this mailing list but could not find anything definitive.
Hope this is a correct place ask this question.

 

Would appreciate it much if anyone could point me in the right direction if not.

The question is also posted at http://www.coderanch.com/t/453340/HTML-_javascript_/HTTP-content-encoding-transfer-encoding
I posted a reply to that but still in doubt.

 

 

The question is, supposing a response has the following headers
 
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Encoding: gzip

According to http 1.1,

do the chunks have to be decompressed chunk by chunk and then assembled or
assemble the whole message and then decompress the whole message?
