I am aware of this, acutally. I should have noted this myself. I've traced through the code to see where the EAGAIN return value is lost, and to note that the non-blocking mode is not applied to the header. I've not tested, but I suspect that the logic is correctly implemented should the socket block during the transfer of the body of a chunk.

The EAGAIN is never sent back out, and in addition the headers are read with a blocking read. It would require changing the return values of code path, which may way cause some breakage. Maybe not, if EAGAIN is handled correctly in all places, but it's never been tested, since it's never returned, right? > > Looks like this is going to be messy to fix. Any patches? > > Not so far.

Something like ProxyChunkedAsIs On If this could be specified for a path or directory, then the upstream chunks are sent immediately, no buffering what so ever. This is a patch I've applied partially, need to add the flag. Adding the behavior fixes my problem. I'm proxying a stock ticker. The chunk size is always going to be smaller than 8k. Even when the EAGAIN logic is implemented correctly, buffering is liable to delay the receipt of the chunk. > Actually, the thing you want works with mod_proxy_ajp in 2.2.x. AJP? Confusing.
