  Own Id: OTP-5261 Aux Id: seq9624

### 1.2 Inets 3.0.7

#### 1.2.1 Reported Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- [httpd] Fixed a number of transfer-encoding problems.
  First part of the data received from a CGI-script was sent as chunked even if the client was HTTP/1.0.
  Introduced new directive (`DisableChunkedTransferEncodingSend`) to turn off usage of chunked transfer-encoding (when sending) since it appear's some browser's have problems handling this. This applies if the client is HTTP/1.1.
  (Own Id: OTP-4806)
  Aux Id: Seq 8150
- [httpc] HTTP client reformats some URLs (e.g. containing %20, space).
  Updated client from sowap.sf.net as of 2003-09-08.

### 1.3 Inets 3.0.6

#### 1.3.1 Reported Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
