Hi GNUser
Actually, it was this statement that caught my eye:

Currently it must not use Transfer-Encoding: chunked (yes, I know that makes zsync non-compliant).
I thought maybe one of the simpler servers night be violating that requirement.


for the perpetually curious
"Understanding HTTP’s Transfer-Encoding: chunked" @ https://gist.github.com/nepsilon/3c5e2c1c5c2fece59a809217a66b8ea3

the body has each of its chunks separated with X\r\n, where X is the size of the chunk in hexadecimal.
