<p>
+ In online mode, link checker's output should not be buffered to avoid
+ browser timeouts. The link checker itself does not buffer its output,
+ but in some cases output buffering needs to be explicitly disabled for
+ it in the web server running it. One such case is Apache's mod_deflate
+ compression module which as a side effect results in output buffering;
+ one way to disable it for the link checker (while leaving it enabled for
+ other resources if configured so elsewhere) is to add the following
+ section to an appropriate place in the Apache configuration (assuming the
+ link checker script's filename is <code>checklink</code>):
+ </p>
+
+ <blockquote><pre>
+<Files checklink>
+ SetEnv no-gzip
+</Files>
+</pre></blockquote>
