# setChunked

`abstract fun setChunked(chunked: Boolean): HttpServerResponse`

If `chunked` is `true`, this response will use HTTP chunked encoding, and each call to write to the body will correspond to a new HTTP chunk sent on the wire.

If chunked encoding is used the HTTP header `Transfer-Encoding` with a value of `Chunked` will be automatically inserted in the response.

If `chunked` is `false`, this response will not use HTTP chunked encoding, and therefore the total size of any data that is written in the respone body must be set in the `Content-Length` header before any data is written out.

An HTTP chunked response is typically used when you do not know the total size of the request body up front.
