I am writing app which will receive updates (in JSON format) from

Server uses HTTP chunked transfer encoding. I also use TLS to encrypt
transmission. If I read curl code in lib/http_chunks.c correctly,
library
guarantees that contents of multiple chunks is not mixed when callback
registered with CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION option is called. However
opposite is
not true, write callback may be called multiple times for one chunk.
This
means that I need some extra callback in order to detect chunk
boundaries,
but I do not see such callback in the code. I think of two possible
callbacks: one called before first part of a chunk is delivered to the
app
(it may have chunk size as a param), and another called after last
part of
chunk is delivered to the app. Any of them would be fine for me. Could
you
add it?
HTTP chunking is part of HTTP and should be transparent to the
application. It
sounds like what you're doing is a layer violation. What is the purpose
of
knowing chunking boundaries?

My app needs to watch updates done to some Kubernetes objects. Every
update is sent as a new HTTP chunk with JSON object inside. I need to
know boundaries to know when I can start parsing received JSON.
Currently I do not know this, so JSON parsing would report error if only
part of chunk is received. I could ignore this error, assume that chunk
is not complete, then later append next part of received data to
previous one and try to parse again. This usually would work, except for
case when server would send invalid JSON - in such case code would
generate parse error again and again. So I look for better way to handle
this.
