Description

Is it possible for a tag to be added that uses 'content-length' is the type of the data sent is not in chunks and a chunk size indicator when the data is sent in chunks?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how morgan computes response size. Currently it relies on content length header. For chunked responses, you need to aggregate chunks to get total size. Propose adding a new format token like `:res[content length]` or `:res[transfer encoding]` to handle this. Check the response object properties and how to listen to data events to accumulate size.
