Enable Chunked Transfer Encoding in ASP.NET

Question

I have an ASP.NET 3.5 website residing on IIS7. I am using dynamic compression and wanted to see if I can enable chunked encoding. Is there some setting on IIS or web config that enables it?

Answer 1

In my experience, calling Response.Flush() will set the Transfer-Encoding to chunked. And actually I think setting Response.BufferedOutput will set it to chunked everytime Response.OutputStream is flushed.

That is unless a Content-Length has been set, then it just flushes the output without setting chunked.

Answer 2

If you edit the IIS configuration you can set the <asp enableChunkedEncoding /> element / attribute to set this.
