Hi Wenbo,
This looks like a reasonable request.
Since we are in agreement on the spec, I have logged
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8218554
to track it.
The issue has a link to this mail thread for reference.
best regards,

Chunked encoding is always applied if 0 is passed to
sendResponseHeaders (this is a bit counter-intuitive, but
0 means chunked coding and -1 means Content-Length: 0 or
no content - depending on response code, and n > 0 means
Content-Length: n).
Yeah, it could be better ... but I can live with this, 0 meaning
"content-length unknown when response headers are generated".
Whether chunked coding is applied or not bears no relationship
with Connection: close whatsoever.
On the client side - if we have 200 with no Content-Length
header and no Transfer-Encoding then we don't expect the
content to be chunked. We simply drain the bytes until
EOF is reached.
Is this what you mean by always applied?
Yes.
