I'd like a tri-state setting for the http-detect-chunking option (yes, no, auto) that defaults to "auto". That was the best suggested approach, in my opinion. I don't think we should compromise interoperability for performance concerns over a single HTTP request. Especially in a patch release. If you're saying that we're going to ship 1.8.1 with a two-state option, and ship a tri-state option in a later 1.8 release, I might be happy with that. But I don't really understand why we're not going for tri-state right now.
