Yes indeed - and also you have to wait for the whole thing to come in.
If you want to use "progressive rendering" of a document then you have
to use streams instead of the chunk version

As an example of using streams, the sample app 

	http://www.w3.org/Library/Examples/LoadToFile.c

linked from

	http://www.w3.org/Library/Examples/

in fact uses streams because the HTLoadFile() in

	http://www.w3.org/Library/src/HTAccess.html

uses streams.
