If your filter can't deal with partial data, it can block for as long as necessary to read more. With just a couple of Kb to handle it's not exactly going to be a performance hit! Regarding the flush buckets, conceptually I'd expect they might feature if you were handling streaming data, or maybe multipart uploads, or some extension to the HTTP protocol. Maybe there's some such application- or ptotocol- oriented filter in your chain? -- Nick Kew
