Subject: LWP::UserAgent doesn't handle Transfer-Encoding: Chunked
When doing $ua->request(GET $url) on a page which returns the http header "Transfer-Encoding: chunked", the user agent returns undef, and reports no errors. I am running RedHat Linux 8, perl 5.6.1. I believe that the isuue is related to "Byte-serving". The webserver is attempting to send down the requested page in a series of responses rather than one large hunk. When I run the request through "plug-proxy" to moniter the response is see multiple responses to the request, each containing part of the data for the response.

LWP::UserAgent does support Transfer-Encoding: Chunked. There is even a test (t/live/jigsaw-chunk.t) to prove it. Please provide a program that demonstrates this error. It might be that we end up incompatible with some (probably bad) servers.
