My original use case was to prevent user timeouts due to lack of perceived progress, so all the 1xx responses would be sent prior to any data (chunked or otherwise)... but I can see some good potential for being able to write to the UI of a UA during chunked data download as well - like a multiplexed data stream. Although I thought chunk extension headers could only occur on the final chunk? Or are they different to attribute extensions... bit rusty on those... -- Adrien de Croy - WinGate Proxy Server - http://www.wingate.com
