Maybe better without Slice-Length header for chunked encoding to avoid buffering on web server.

Doesn't the slice length help the server avoid buffering? You can send a incomplete amount of data out as soon as you've computed it.

I think of dynamic pages. How could the webserver compute the slice length without known chunked length and buffering?
