Hi,

chunked encoding with mod_esi works fine in our daily builds. Try it 
with the OTP-http client
maybe you will get a clue about what happens? inets:start(). 
http:request("http://..."). You can also try to set
the verbose option to verbose, debug or trace with the 
http:set_options/[1,2] to get more information.
Maybe if your callback-function crashes you would get this behavior.
