Thank you, yes.  Happy you used edoc tags also.  So far I have been
playing with ibrowse though not in production yet.  

Based on your comment above, I infer that the inets http module is
not rfc2616 compliant with regard to chunked data?  Or is there
something I am doing wrong in using it?  My original thought was
that a problem was still in http module, then I thought my code
using it was wrong, now I am very confused (though happy that
ibrowse retrieves the chunked data correctly!).  My preference 
would be to use the inets http code since it is delivered with
Erlang system.
