I wasn't saying that it wouldn't be easier to have everything in

I'd love it if I never had to read a file in line by line anymore
and could just
slurp them all into arrays. But knowing when to put all of
something into memory
and when not to is part of being a programmer.
Okay, quick question related to this. How do I send the appropriate
Content-Length
headers in a situation where I don't read all of the data into memory.
Currently, I do something like this:
my $output = "Some string";
{
use Apache2::Response();
use bytes;
$r->set_content_length(length($output));
}
$r->rflush();
$r->print($output);
If I'm chunking would I re-send the Content-Length header for each
chunk?
I'm assuming the Bucket Brigade has something to do with this being
received
by the browser okay...
