You are right in the case of markup data. But it's a difference, if you
download a binary object like a pdf file. When you download a pdf or a
tar.gz and you see after two minutes it is still downloaded, but you
don't know how long, it's frustrating. You don't know is the file 2.4MB
and you should wait the 10 seconds or is the file 12MB and you can abort
the download. And the point is, wwwoffle shouldn't modify binary data. So
I don't see any reason, why wwwoffle should remove the C-L header on
binary data. Please, let don't remove the header on binary data.
J�rg.
