Where there's a Content-Length, it can be done earlier and more efficiently by just reading that - with the added bonus of being able to send a sensible errordocument to the client. 2. Where there's chunked encoding, the check would best be implemented in the chunking filter. 3. A simple count/abort filter is then a last resort. And it won't be able to tell the client what's happened, because the header has already been sent (unless it buffers the entire response, which is horribly inefficient). Not too hard to implement. Alas, I have no time to look into it myself right now. -- Nick Kew Application Development with Apache - the Apache Modules Book http://www.apachetutor.org/
