What is Transfer-encoding? |
|
Answer» Transfer-encoding is USED for transferring the payload body(information part of the data sent in the HTTP message body) to the user. It is a hop-by-hop header, that is APPLIED not to a resource itself, but to a message between two nodes. Each multi-node connection segment can make USE of various Transfer-encoding values. Transfer-encoding is SET to “Chunked” SPECIFYING that Hypertext Transfer Protocol’s mechanism of Chunked encoding data transfer is initiated in which data will be sent in a form of a series of “chunks”. This is helpful when the amount of data sent to the client is larger and the total size of the response will not be known until the completion of request processing. |
