curl already tells you the size of the data it delivers in every callback
invoke! There's no existing API for curl to inform the application about
chunked-encoded chunk sizes because that's something that curl abstracts away.

You can, if you really want to, ask curl to not decode the transfer encoding
and then you'll get to do the "dechunking" yourself. I wouldn't recommend it
though and I can't see how that would help you...
