+### Notes on HTTP 1.1
+
+It has a messy mix of strategies:
+
+- The HTTP headers and body are separated by a blank line - a fixed **delimiter**
+- The `Content-Length:` header is a **length prefix** for the request or
+  response body
+- But you can also use `Transfer-Encoding: chunked`, which makes the body a
+  **stream** of length-prefixed chunks.  The stream is terminated by a sentinel
+  (a delimiter).
+- Multipart MIME file uploads use a **chosen delimiter** to separate files.
