I don't understand why standard mod_deflate functionality won't work. If you violate the specs and muck with content-length, it's not going to work right in a browser, anyhow.

I'd either like to request a option to enable such a feature where I can have the compressed data buffered, the headers set, and then the data sent. I'd be willing to pay someone here a nominal free to do it privately, if one so wishes to do it.
