You could put in the fix yourself while waiting for the new release,
as that particular bug is quite easy to fix.

In httpc_handler.erl change the following 
---------------------------------------
   "chunked" ->
            {ok, {ChunkedHeaders, NewBody}} =
                case http_chunk:decode(Body, State#state.max_body_size, 
                                       State#state.max_header_size) of
                    {Module, Function, Args} ->
                        http_transport:setopts(Session#tcp_session.scheme, 
					       Session#tcp_session.socket, 
					       [{active, once}]),
                        {noreply, State#state{mfa = 
					      {Module, Function, Args}}};
                    Decoded ->
                        Decoded
                end,
            NewHeaders = http_chunk:handle_headers(Headers, ChunkedHeaders),
            handle_response(State#state{headers = NewHeaders, 
					body = NewBody});

---------------
to:
    "chunked" ->
	    case http_chunk:decode(Body, State#state.max_body_size, 
				   State#state.max_header_size) of
		{Module, Function, Args} ->
		    http_transport:setopts(Session#tcp_session.scheme, 
					   Session#tcp_session.socket, 
					   [{active, once}]),
		    {noreply, State#state{mfa = 
					  {Module, Function, Args}}};
		{ok, {ChunkedHeaders, NewBody}} ->
		    NewHeaders = http_chunk:handle_headers(Headers, 
							   ChunkedHeaders),
		    handle_response(State#state{headers = NewHeaders, 
						body = NewBody})
	    end;

-------------------

Of course there where other things fixed for 4.0.1 so I can not
guarantee that it will work flawlessly but it might be worth a shot!
