Yes, they have to know - otherwise page rendering wouldn't be much stable.
Of course they try to render a page asap, but still... Coding a browser
that wouldn't know when a page ended would be unnecessarily much harder.
But this is solved through chunked encoding which I wasn't aware it existed.
Thank you for your answer!
