The C-L filter has logic that if we are ever passed more than 32000 bytes (4 * AP_MIN_BYTES_TO_WRITE) and we're HTTP/1.1 downstream, we use chunked encoding. Otherwise, we'll use C-L. Or, if a flush bucket is ever sent, we'll use chunked. This is the way the entire server operates (regardless of proxy). -- justin
