Forget to mention that the server on other side (from my bug report)
is Apache 1.2.0 which is 1.1-conformant and send this 'chunked' output
which fetch can't handle (it cause 'connection reset by peer' for it).

Since Apache 1.2.x is standard now, fetch will not handle more and more
servers in pretty near future. So we need to revert to 1.0 or implement
chunked ASAP. I suggest revert to 1.0 right now until somebody will
implement chunked. 

Even if mirroring will be broken by this step (I doubt), normal behaviour
remains non-broken, it is more valuable!
