pecl update-channels failed to update phpdocs channel

# pecl update-channels
Updating channel "doc.php.net"
Error: Unable to create XML parser
Invalid channel.xml file
Updating channel "pear.php.net"

Updating channel "pecl.php.net"

The root cause seems to be pecl not parsing HTTP chunked encoding response properly.

GET https://doc.php.net/channels.xml returns the following HTTP response:

If I modify the response to fixed-length body, pecl works properly.
