Couple of thoughts... 1. What if the content is compressed. 2. What about compressed chunked encoding. 3. What if servers start supporting compressed headers. RFC 1144

If this were set to AP_CONN_CLOSE, c-l filter would allow a partial send. I dunno what else that would break. Right now Apache is eating lots and lots of storage on a big CGI response on HTTP 0.9 request. The entire response is getting buffered. With HTTP/1.0, the entire response is getting buffered too. Do we absolutely have to get the content length, or can we set connection close and omit the content length field?
