I'm not sure to follow, a loop in mod_ratelimit's filter itself? 1/ If bb is given empty then the filter does nothing (AFAICT), this should not happen but it's not each filter's business to handle the case either (just not crash or loop indefinitely of course). 2/ If bb is less than chunk_size + burst bytes, then data are retained in holdingbb until the next call (provided not EOS/FLUSH and so on...). 3/ If bb is greater or equal to chunk_size + burst bytes (the case you are talking about AIUI), then each chunk is sent rate limited and either 1/ or 2/ applies for the rest. Which case exactly do you care about? Regards, Yann.
