If it was a "bug" in MSIE, it must be something specifically related to receiving compressed content, since the same data sent uncompressed, gets rendered as they arrive. Anyway, I just tried getting the same data using lynx, and this made it evident that *without* mod_deflate, the data gets sent by Apache as they are ready, whereas *with* mod_deflate, all the compressed data are sent as one big block at the end. So it seems that I am still unable to get the functionality I am looking for. Nicholas Oxhøj
