Overview

The HTTP request/response may optionally transfer an entity. An entity consists of entity header fields, which are grouped together with the other headers of the request or response, and an entity-body.

The HTTP protocol requires that requests/response which include a body either use chunked transfer encoding or send a Content-Length request header.
