 It appears that not all hosts which set the transfer-encoding to chunked,
 actually send the output in chunked format.

 An example site of this is http://www.spiritblog.net/ (Purely random
 selection)

 The issue is that WP_Http::chunkTransferDecode() will return false on this
 event.

 I see 2 solutions:
  * Have chunkTransferDecode() return the content back if its deterined not
 to be chunked
  * have the transports check that the return result of
 chunkTransferDecode() is true before assigning to the body.

 Option 1 seems a good route honestly, Decode it if its determined to be
 chunked, else just pass it back. Patch will be attached for this route
 shortly.
