Summary:  HttpWebResponse returns garbage around

Original Submission:  my program downloads an XML file from a HTTP server 
(Jetty 4.2.19). The code looks like this:

WebClient clnt = new WebClient();
byte[] buff = clnt.DownloadData(myurl);
string s = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(buff);

The resulting string contains the XML data, but some additional chars around it:
e.g. instead of
"<c></c>"
it's "7[CarriageReturn]<c></c>[CarriageReturn]0[CarriageReturn][CarriageReturn]"

The first line (7 in my example) is the length of the file in hex. (My example 
program uses WebClient but I'm pretty sure the bug is eighter in HttpWebRequest 
or HttpWebResponse)

Chunked transfer looks like that (see RFC 2616 section 3.6.1 for details):

> GET http://localhost:3737/servlet/ExampleServlet HTTP/1.1
> User-Agent: DotGNU Portable.net
> Host: localhost:3737

This is caused by "chunked transfer". Seems like HttpWebResponse is not able to 
decode chunked transfer yet.

I'm not able to duplicate this bug on Linux with 0.6.10 while pulling an XML 
RSS feed using http://www.irc-rp.net/backend/news.xml for the test.

Can the URL or XML file being used be provided for further testing?
