title: Does Alamofire support chunked data response?
body: <p>It is unclear as to whether Alamofire supports chunked data for large or progressive data sets. This is a much needed feature for my application, otherwise I may have to look into alternative methods.</p>
  
  <p>On the <a href="https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire" rel="nofollow">Alamofire Github</a> page, it states <code>Progress Closure &amp; NSProgress</code> but I'm not sure what that entails.</p>
  
  <p>And per the description on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chunked_transfer_encoding" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia</a> on Chunked data transfer.</p>
  
  <p><code>Senders can begin transmitting dynamically-generated content before knowing the total size of that content.</code></p>
  
  <p><br><strong>For clarity's sake, let me explain why I need this.</strong><br></p>
  
  <p>Basically I have a very large JSON file that is partially cached. The full JSON file is composed up of smaller JSON objects. I am using <code>iojs</code> / <code>nodejs</code> to send the chunked data via <code>res.write()</code> with <code>Express</code> which knows not to send the <code>Content-Length</code> header AND send it as chunked data. I have verified this works via <code>html/js</code>.</p>

  <strong>Let me know if you would like for me to provide the code to demonstrate this!</strong></p>
