Hi Daniel,
      In continuation with this callback issue I am facing [and as per
https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2011-09/0232.html] , if server sends
Transfer-Encoding: chunked, server will send the size of the chunked data
and the actual data to the client, libcurl consumes this size of chunked
data and invokes write callback function when data arrives at the client.

I was just wondering if libcurl can also pass this size of each chunk and
then invokes write function callback, this way my application will know
size of the chunk and can handle the multiple function call backs. Is this
some how possible with libcurl ?

Thanks
