IIS in-proc changes some responses from content-length to chunked

Converting Content-Length responses to Chunked is problematic as clients may be expecting that content-length value.

Frequently reproduces with:

            ctx.Request.Headers.ContentLength = ctx.Request.Path.Value.Length;
            await ctx.Response.WriteAsync(ctx.Request.Path.Value);

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Server: Microsoft-IIS/10.0
X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
Date: Mon, 03 Jun 2019 16:13:19 GMT

Reproduces less frequently with:

            ctx.Request.Headers.ContentLength = ctx.Request.Path.Value.Length;
            return ctx.Response.WriteAsync(ctx.Request.Path.Value);

It’s also known to change some auto-chunked responses to content-length, but that’s less problematic as Content-Length is universally supported.

Umm… Am I not seeing how these two are different? They look identical to me.

await vs return. This can affect the timing.

It’s something inside IIS, not Http.Sys.
