AngularJS - How to handle "chunked" data using $ http?

Currently the following snippet is implemented, which is just a basic GET call:

$http.get(url,
  {
    params: ...,
    responseType: 'json'
  }
).then(
  function success(response) {
    ...
  },
  function failure(reason) {
    ...
  }
);

      

        
        
        
      

    

I would like to extend it for support Transfer-Encoding: chunked

so that I can gradually load the results to the screen as they appear. Is this currently possible with $http

(angular @ 1.5.11)?
