transfer-encoding: debug server behavior differs from test client

[bdc34]

With code like:

resp = make_response(file.open("rb")) return resp

the debug server automatically kicks into transfer-encoding chunked mode:

curl -svo /dev/null -X GET localhost:8080/src/cond-mat/9805021 2>&1 | grep "^<"
< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
< Server: Werkzeug/2.3.7 Python/3.11.2
< Date: Thu, 29 Feb 2024 21:14:59 GMT
< Transfer-Encoding: chunked
< Connection: close`

but in a unit test it does not go into Transfer-Encoding chunked mode or the header is missing:

client_with_test_fs = <FlaskClient <Flask 'browse'>>, path = '/src/', paperid = 'cond-mat/9805021'
expected_file = 'arXiv-cond-mat9805021v2.gz', desc = 'single file .gz'

    @pytest.mark.parametrize("path,paperid,expected_file,desc", [ ["/src/"]+c for c in cases] )
    def test_src(client_with_test_fs, path, paperid, expected_file, desc ):
        client = client_with_test_fs
        resp = client.get(path + paperid)
        assert resp
        assert resp.status_code == 200
>       assert resp.headers["Transfer-Encoding"] == "chunked" # Must do chunked on a raw get for Cloud run large obj

I would expect the debug server and the test client to work the same.

Environment:

- Python version:  3.11
- Flask version: 2.2.5

Whether Transfer-Encoding: chunked is used is a property of any given WSGI server in front of the application. It's not something Flask/Werkzeug the WSGI application chooses, it's something the server chooses. Besides the presence of the header, there should be no difference in the data received in the response, so there's no reason to test if the encoding was chunked. That would be testing the behavior of the server, not of the application.
