A ChunkedInput that fetches data chunk by chunk for use with HTTP chunked transfers.

Each chunk from the input data will be wrapped within a HttpContent. At the end of the input data, LastHttpContent will be written.

Ensure that your HTTP response header contains Transfer-Encoding: chunked.

        new ChunkedFile("/tmp/myfile.txt"));
