Hi William, I have seen web sites forcing the chunked transfer-encoding as well as gzip content encoding. One of the biggest example is *facebook*. And *facebook*uses apache on linux.
Please refer this link on progressive rendering using chunked transfer encoding. http://www.phpied.com/progressive-rendering-via-multiple-flushes/ If you search "big pipe" on web you will find plenty of references of using chunked transfer encoding. Also apache does allow chunking if I don't enable mod_deflate module. Old mod_gzip module which was packaged with old apache 1.3 had an directive specifically for not dechunking. * * *mod_gzip_dechunk No* So status right now is if i don't use compression on apache response is sent chunk by chunk.
