Chunked transfer encoding is supported.
The default configuration for the Client is to use HttpURLConnection
and it will use the default settings of that for transfer encoding.
The default is that the client will not send a request entity using
the chunked encoding (because resending is supported by default e.g.
for authentication or redirection).
You need to set the following property:
https://jersey.dev.java.net/nonav/apidocs/1.1.1-ea/jersey/com/sun/jersey/api/client/Client.html
#setChunkedEncodingSize(java.lang.Integer)
which will disable redirection.
Note that i have encountered some issues with HttpURLConnection and
chunked encoding of requests (sorry i cannot recall the exact
details). If you hit those you may want to switch to using the Jersey
client with the Apache HTTP client.
