Sorry for the noob question - is it possible to process a chunked response with `cohttp`? I’d like to do something like [this `h2` example](https://github.com/anmonteiro/ocaml-h2?tab=readme-ov-file#a-client-example)

Thanks!

Yes, you can do that. The [`Cohttp_eio.Body.t`](https://mirage.github.io/ocaml-cohttp/cohttp-eio/Cohttp_eio/Body/index.html) is the `Eio.Flow.source_ty Eio.Resource.t` type for streaming a resource.

See an [example](https://github.com/mirage/ocaml-cohttp/blob/master/cohttp-eio/examples/client1.ml).
