No. Bleck. If the "chunked response flag" is not already private, it really should be. Modules should not be setting that [any more]. We absolutely should not compensate for modules which do. [ and yes: modules *do* need to change w.r.t. how they handle output. I had to remove byte-range handling from mod_dav; that is now handled in the core; by a similar analogy, chunking is handled in the core ] Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/
