At EOS, that's all she wrote; body or connection finished, nothing more, don't call me, and I won't call you. So a flush bucket is a request; please get rid of any lingering data and push it on to the client. I meant it's a request, consider a filter that does codepage translation, and we have half of a multibyte character sequence. There is no way to flush that half a character because we don't know what it will become. So flush should be respected as far as possible, but you cannot trust that everything is flushed. At EOS, such an incomplete translation would have to be performed (or discarded) because there is nothing more to come. Bill
