It doesn't look like a misuse, since I've encountered a lot of similiar complaints. So... The solution that was applied to mod_proxy appears to perform some sort of test to see if a read from the upstream server will block. If that's the case, the buffer is flushed before 8192. Is there something I can add to my Servlet that says, yes, you're going to block? -- Alan Gutierrez - alan@xxxxxxxxx - http://engrm.com/blogometer/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
