We have a webservice running on Websphere 6.1 using the IBM JAX-RPC based webservices. Client is sending requests without HTTP header of transfer-encoding:chunked (They specify content-length). The response from websphere always has transfer-encoding:chunked in the HTTP header. I assume this will result in the response being sent in multiple chunks. In a system where the service requester and service provider are separated by many intermediaries (like firewalls and loadbalancers (T1/F5)) this kind of chunking could result in significant latency.
