Yes, it would certainly be very nice to have a more abstract buffering filter with an API. True. What I've had in mind for a while is a connection level buffering filter that allows the backend request to complete and for r->pool to be destroyed (and all resources released), while the frontend takes its time consuming the data. I suspect that buffering filters are simple enough that trying to optimise them may be over the top. Regards,, Graham --

This aims to reduce the network overhead imposed by the output of many small brigades (such as produced by chunked HTTP response), which can now be transformed into a few large TLS records rather than many small ones. Is this not a duplicate of the BUFFER filter in mod_buffer? Regards, Graham --
