$app = Plack::Middleware::Chunked->wrap($app);

literally that's it. one line. iconic behavior. ✨


πŸŽ€ DESCRIPTION πŸŽ€

so here's the tea, bestie: Plack::Middleware::Chunked is a middleware β€” or like, more accurately, it's a library for a PSGI server β€” and what it does is automatically add chunked encoding to the response body. 🫢

when does it do this? specifically when Content-Length is not set in the response header. no Content-Length? boom, chunked encoding gets applied for you. automatic. main character energy. 🌈
