I have a CGI program that needs its content as it is sent to the web server instead of all at once after the whole thing is sent. This works with my testing server, but I'm running Apache 2.0.something and the production server is Apache 1.3.37, and it has a couple of shared hosting-related modules on it, mod_bwlimited and mod_log_bytes.

What I'd like to know is if using mod_perl I could convince the server to give me the info when I need it regardless of what other cruft is happening to buffer the request. Does it depend upon in what order the modules are loaded? Is it just a problem inherent in Apache 1.3.37?

If anyone knows of an easier solution, like a directive for the sparsely documented modules above that tell them to do their jobs in a respecful manner and give my program the content it's trying to read, I'd love to know that, too.
