I think of two possible callbacks: one called before first part of a chunk

be fine for me.
I think that would encourage really bad applications.
1. The server is not obliged to provide chunks in the response just because it
did it once or usually does it. You cannot rely on them.
2. If you access the resource over a HTTP proxy it may *change* the chunks
mid-stream.
3. If you get the data over HTTP/2 or HTTP/3, chunked encoding doesn't
exist...
