Well, mod_proxy in Apache 1.x doesn't claim to be HTTP/1.1, so there's no reason it should be expected to support chunked encoding. And since Apache 1.x is a maintenance-only product not in active development, that's not too likely to change - ever. > > If you'd filed a bug for Apache 2, maybe it would have been fixed by > > now. > > I started a thread back in june: > > http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/apache/dev/264479 Aha, I have no recollection of that. The thing about list posts is they're easy to overlook if the subject is not one of great concern at the time. And on June 3rd I was doing some urgent work as well as rehearsing an opera production that was on stage the following week. Bugzilla is different - it's a database. I will of course search for relevant bugs any time I'm contemplating any substantial update to a module. -- Nick Kew
