OK, multipart/xyz is just like any other MIME media type - as far
as the client is concerned, it is getting one big file of type
"multipart/xyz", which can then be parsed to get the individual
pieces. A chunked response might look like this:
Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary-string="---FOO---"
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
B
---FOO---
1f
Content-Type: application/ipp
<some length>
<ipp message>
B
---FOO---
1f
Content-Type: application/ipp
<some length>
<ipp message>
...
0
Technically the chunking is part of the transport protocol and
the multipart/related is a different content type which must be
parsed separately from the HTTP data.
