Transfer-Encoding: chunked broken? #443

Info:
rn-fetch-blob: 0.11.1
react-native: 0.61.1
platform: Android

Issue:
I keep getting the error from rn-fetch-blob: "RNFetchBlob failed. Download interrupted."

What:
I am trying to download a PDF that is sent from the server with Transfer-Encoding: chunked. Here is the response headers from curl (curl used to verify headers):

< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
< Content-Type: application/pdf
< Transfer-Encoding: chunked

Inside rn-fetch-blob source code I see the following (RNFetchBlobReq.java):

           case FileStorage:
                ResponseBody responseBody = resp.body();

                try {
                    // In order to write response data to `destPath` we have to invoke this method.
                    // It uses customized response body which is able to report download progress
                    // and write response data to destination path.
                    responseBody.bytes();
                } catch (Exception ignored) {
                    ignored.printStackTrace();
                }

                RNFetchBlobFileResp rnFetchBlobFileResp = (RNFetchBlobFileResp) responseBody;

                if(rnFetchBlobFileResp != null && rnFetchBlobFileResp.isDownloadComplete() == false){
                    callback.invoke("RNFetchBlob failed. Download interrupted.", null);
                }
                else {
                    this.destPath = this.destPath.replace("?append=true", "");
                    callback.invoke(null, RNFetchBlobConst.RNFB_RESPONSE_PATH, this.destPath);
                }
                break;

The rnFetchBlobFileResp.isDownloadComplete() is where it is failing. Inside that method we have (RNFetchBlobFileResp.java):

public boolean isDownloadComplete() {
        return bytesDownloaded == contentLength();
    }

And contentLength() we have (RNFetchBlobBody.java):

@Override
    public long contentLength() {
        return chunkedEncoding ? -1 : contentLength;
    }

So unless I am reading this wrong, the contentLength for "chunked" encoding will always be -1, which will never match bytesDownloaded?

Am I reading this correctly? Doesn't this mean Transfer-Encoding: chunked downloads will always fail?
