+Stream
+------
+
+You may also stream your response and get data as they come (e.g. when using
+``transfer-encoding: chunked``). In this case, method
+:func:`~urllib3.response.HTTPResponse.stream` will return generator.
+
+::
+
+ >>> from urllib3 import PoolManager
+ >>> http = urllib3.PoolManager()
+
+ >>> r = http.request("GET", "http://httpbin.org/stream/3")
+ >>> r.getheader("transfer-encoding")
+ 'chunked'
+
+ >>> for chunk in r.stream():
+ ... print chunk
+ {"url": "http://httpbin.org/stream/3", ..., "id": 0, ...}
+ {"url": "http://httpbin.org/stream/3", ..., "id": 1, ...}
+ {"url": "http://httpbin.org/stream/3", ..., "id": 2, ...}
+ >>> r.closed
+ True
+
+Completely consuming the stream will auto-close the response and release
+the connection back to the pool. If you're only partially consuming the
+consuming a stream, make sure to manually call ``r.close()`` on the
+response.
