> Can you provide some more information to be able > to reproduce your test over here? Just make a web page like the one described. Enable mod_deflate and load the page in your favorite browser that has debugging (Firebug, IE9, Chrome, etc). In my case, it appears Apache selects the chunked encoding automagically when the size of the page goes over a certain size. Apache doesn't seem to set the smaller pages to the chunked encoding (even though they are gzipped). > And how many chunks did the response > contain? Hypothetically it would be the compressed 41,841 byte response body divided by the DeflateBufferSize (which is 8096), right? But if you're using KeepAlive, the size or count of the chucks shouldn't have any performance implications on the client side. If KeepAlive was off, then the bigger the chunk size the better. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
