in reply to Can mod_perl get me past a silly buffering in Apache?

There are fundamental differences between Apache 1.3.x and Apache 2.x

What works under mod_perl2 might not work under mod_perl for Apache 1.x

That being said and although mod_perl gives you access to all stages of the request-cycle, I think that this cycle will only start once the whole of the data is received. At least a quick glance through my copy of "Practical mod_perl" did not show anything about pre-empting the buffer.

    Knowing that I can do it in Apache 2.0 with a CGI, is there reason to even hope I could do it with mod_perl on Apache 1.3? I've tried looking though some mod_perl references online, but haven't found enough relevant information to ascertain even how much more looking is warranted. If there's a decent chance I could this by finally breaking down and getting a solid understanding of mod_perl under my belt, I'd be happy to do so. Right now, though, there are too many time crunches at home and at work to devote a bunch of study to a short-term dead-end.

    The "easy" fix, I guess, is to find a hosting company with a recent Apache build and convince my employer to let me host some of our clients' sites on it. That's great long-term, but for this one project I'd really like to fit my solution to the environment instead of changing business practices to fit my code.
