----------------------------+--------------------------
 WP_HTTP accepts a 'httpversion' argument, and supports some functions of
 it (such as Transfer-encoding).

 However, there are 2 things which are rather broken
 1. It doesn't send a `Connection: close` header, so the connection is held
 open and WP_HTTP never returns
 1. Transfer-Encoding: chunked appears to be rather broken, causing it to
 returning the end of the document rather than the decoded document.

 The attached patch goes some of the way towards making that work better,
 but is mostly untested, and could do with a unit test or two.
