mongrel unicorn - Dec 2009 - Do we let Nginx to handle response Transfer-Encoding?

Hi, I''ve checked that in case my Rack application (under Unicorn)
doesn''t set
"Content-Lentgh" neither "Transfer-Encoding", then Nginx
automatically adds
"Transfer-Encoding: chunked" to the response (and edits the body
properly to
be in chunked format).

However Unicorn is sending a response with body but without
"Content-Lentgh"
or "Transfer-Encoding", so IMHO it''s incorrect according to
RFC 2616.

So, should my Rack application handle this stuff? or is it better if I let 
Nginx "fixing" it for me?

Thanks a lot.

Just load the Rack::ContentLength middleware, if you''re building a Rack
app from scratch.  Some frameworks already handle Content-Length for
you.

The fact is that to realizing about the above, I already added Content-Length 
by myself in the Rck application :)

Thanks.
