unicorn 0.9.0
We now have support for "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" bodies in
requests.  Not only that, Rack applications reading input bodies
get that data streamed off to the client socket on an as-needed
basis.  This allows the application to do things like upload
progress notification and even tunneling of arbitrary stream
protocols via bidirectional chunked encoding.

See Unicorn::App::Inetd and examples/git.ru (including the
comments) for an example of tunneling the git:// protocol over
HTTP.

This release also gives applications the ability to respond
positively to "Expect: 100-continue" headers before being rerun
without closing the socket connection.  See Unicorn::App::Inetd
for an example of how this is used.

This release is NOT recommended for production use.
