Chunked transfer encoding from client to Mongrel2

Chunked transfer encoding from client to Mongrel2

Hello,

um, I am annoyed. git is using chunked encoding to upload large chunks
over HTTP. Mongrel2 is not supporting chunked encoding from the client
side (slowloris at all the steps etc.).

Suppose you have to support chunked encoding to allow people to use git
over HTTP, what would you do?

Any help/idea would be very welcomed. I am thinking about setting up a
special chunked encoding aware proxy on a given subdomain which would
then proxy to mongrel2, but this is not has elegant as I would like.

Any ideas?
