The last buffer in chain should normally have the last_buf flag set.
This is not changed by the devguide example, but in your code it's your buffer
which is the last one, and it obviously does not have the right flag.
This is why ngx_http_chunked_filter does not end the HTTP chunked response
with the final empty chunk, but your client is expecting it.
