I find it a bit odd that you again claim WSGI doesn't support chunked  
transfers after that was thoroughly explained here, already. And add  
to that false claims about forbidding Content-Encoding, strange claims  
about its character support being insufficient....I'm getting the  
feeling that you don't actually understand HTTP.

HTTP really *is* hard, but WSGI didn't screw it up, you just seem to  
misunderstand either what WSGI allows or else what is correct with  
regards to HTTP.

I'd tend to agree with much of what you wrote in the last two sections  
of your post, but the first section is just completely confused and  
wrong.
