the only reason we need to buffer everything is because of IE whatever.
Can someone confirm that this is still needed ?
AFAIK this was a valid issue until IE6. IE versions 7 and up should have
no problems with headers plus small HTML page in one packet. Neither it
does have with large headers (cookies and stuff) sent in more than one
packet. (I yet have to dig out a few VMs and test) IE6 was supported
with patches for regular users until about two years ago and still
remains supported for paying customers who prefer to pay for support
instead of moving away from 15 year old software.
If it was up to me, I would prefer to clean up code while being at risk
to break interoperability with very old browsers.
Yours,
