If you have a chain of filters installed in a proxy or a server, the data may have already passed through many filtering processes before it hits the one that bounces the request. Signalling a final chunk, if that goes through the filter chain as well, will be telling all these filters that the resource they got was complete, and they may do all manner of processing on it. I believe we need a way to clearly distinguish between a completion and an abort. > Regards > Henrik > -- Adrien de Croy - WinGate Proxy Server - http://www.wingate.com
