No it isn't!

The CGI spec is clear: CONTENT_LENGTH is guaranteed;
EOF is NOT guaranteed, so reading to EOF is a bug and
means the CGI can only ever "work" by coincidence!

CGI pre-dates chunked encoding (as do reports of the 
death of CGI, from proponents of alternative serverside
application environments)!
