Description

Following an email thread on the dev mailing list, InvokeHttp currently forces chunked encoding because the content length method of the request body is not overrided (so it returns -1).

To fix and enable configuration, a property to "use chunked encoding" is necessary which will then determine whether or not to implement the content length method.
