Fair enough. I was thinking of a similar situation a few minutes ago. Though I think in practice it's likely that such a bucket type would hang on to the buffer it copied the data into in addition to the "native" format and would therefore meet my earlier assertion by virtue of having the data in both formats (binary buffer and "native" format) after the first call to apr_bucket_read(). It wouldn't *have* to, but it probably would anyway. :) --Cliff
