#49 SVN: Mediatomb always flags file as chunked output

[Michael Guntsche]

I recently upgraded from 0.11.0 to 0.12.0 for testing. After upgrading streaming MP4 files to my PS3 no longer worked.
Trying to figure out what's happening I noticed that the header mediatomb was sending out had changed.

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
TRANSFER-ENCODING: chunked
CONTENT-TYPE: video/mp4
DATE: Wed, 29 Apr 2009 10:51:15 GMT
LAST-MODIFIED: Sat, 22 Dec 2007 18:10:44 GMT

CONNECTION: close
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Cambridge - Parcour.mp4"
Accept-Ranges: bytes

Looking at the code I noticed that force_chunked never got initialised properly in that code-path and with -O2 optimisations turns out to be "1" after a few requests.
The following patch fixes this, but I do not know if this is the proper location in the code to do that.
