 Yeah this looks like the only bogosity in the module... but I think the
 intention was to get a connection which is unbuffered.  So you should
 probably do this: 
 
         int len_read = read( sock, databuffer, sizeof(databuffer) );
         if ( len_read <= 0 )
             break;
         if ( rwrite( r, databuffer, len_read ) <= 0 )
             break;
        if ( rflush( r ) < 0 )
            break;
 
 which forces a flush after each write...  Doing this will work with
 apache-1.2 and 1.3.  There's a cheaper way to do it with 1.3 (mark the
 BUFF as unbuffered earlier), but that has other side-effects in 1.2 that
 you don't want to deal with. 
 
 Can you submit that fix back to the mod_servlet folks? 
 
 Thanks
