> hasn’t finished loading yet or is potentially infinite/undesireably large/hung For the case of a hung connection, is there any great cost to a client just keeping the connection open indefinitely? We’re talking a few kilobytes of memory? The user will surely close the client before it matters. I can see some value in signalling the content length in order to allow a client to display a progress bar for a large download. But I can totally live without that in exchange for a simpler design.
