I fought with this for a while, too. You can use the 'bucket brigade'
technique. I'm a bit green, so someone with more experience could expound more.
Here's a snippet:
sub send_response_body
{
my ( $r, $data ) = @_;
my $bb = APR::Brigade->new ( $r->pool,
$r->connection->bucket_alloc );
my $b = APR::Bucket->new ( $data );
$bb->insert_tail ($b);
$r->output_filters->fflush ( $bb );
$bb->destroy;
}
Hope this helps.
