It does not seem too difficult to implement the chunked encoding,
if the efficiency is ignored.

One thing I can't figure out is
how to parse a hex number in a string.
For example, I want to get a number
 58
from a string
 "3a"

It's like the opposite of (format "~X" ...).
Such procedure in Chicken?
