Is it possible for a HTTP 1.1 client to set a header value that indicates the responses to requests should not be chunked? Or is the only way to prevent this, is to send a HTTP 1.0 request? I've tried googling around, but all I can find is ways to disable chunked transfers on HTTP 1.1 servers, so I am guessing it is not possible on a client, but I thought I'd ask anyways.

Try adding "&headers=false" to your request. That should shorten it up and cause the response to be less likely to be chunked. Also, are you sending a HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/1.0 request? Try sending a HTTP/1.0 if your device cannot handle a HTTP/1.1 request.
HTTP/1.1 uses content-coding values in the Accept-Encoding (section 14.3) and Content-Encoding (section 14.11) header fields. Although the value describes the content-coding, what is more important is that it indicates what decoding mechanism will be required to remove the encoding.
Chunked transfer encoding allows a server to maintain an HTTP persistent connection for dynamically generated content. In this case, the HTTP Content-Length header cannot be used to delimit the content and the next HTTP request/response, as the content size is not yet known.
To enable chunked transfer encoding, set the value for AspEnableChunkedEncoding to True in the metabase for the site, the server, or the virtual directory that you want to enable chunked transfer encoding for. By default, the value is True, and it is set at the Web service level.
In HTTP (starting with HTTP/1.1), recipients MUST support chunked encoding. See http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-ietf-httpbis-p1-messaging-26.html#rfc.section.4.1.p.4.
