src/jdk.httpserver/share/classes/com/sun/net/httpserver/HttpExchange.java line 82:

I feel a little uneasy about these constant names, if only because the parameter they are intended to be used for is called "`responseLength`"

"The response length is chunked content." Feels strange. Really you don't know the response length. Perhaps `responseLength` is what should change?
