Sure, if you make the buffering behavior dependent on the presence of "-q". I guess that is not that hard to do, but it does increase the complexity of the code (you have both a streaming and a buffering code path). Anyway, I am not all that convinced this is a fruitful path versus just fixing the server side. But if you want to look into writing a patch, go for it. -Peff
