To reiterate, I'm still not the biggest fan of the constant names given

* The parameter name they are being used for is `responseLength`. "The responseLength is CHUNKED_CONTENT" feels jank and `lengthOrChunked` doesn't inspire joy.
* I'm not convinced the audience that we presumably care the most about for this API won't be helped too much by them
