Sends a chunk of the body. By calling this method
many times, a request body can be sent to a
server. In that case, it is suggested to use the
`['Transfer-Encoding', 'chunked']` header line when
creating the request.
Sends a chunk of the body. This method can be called multiple times. If no
`Content-Length` is set, data will automatically be encoded in HTTP Chunked
transfer encoding, so that server knows when the data ends. The
`Transfer-Encoding: chunked` header is added. Calling [`request.end()`][]
is necessary to finish sending the request.

The `encoding` argument is optional and only applies when `chunk` is a string.
Defaults to `'utf8'`.
