Hi,

My understanding of HTTP/1.1 chunking is that it's considered to be a 
hop-to-hop feature, and so if the server behind an (Async)ProxyServlet responds 
with a stream of small chunks they can be buffered. This poses a challenge for 
some chunking use-cases, including SSE (Server Sent Events). One workaround I 
found for SSE is to send a large-ish "flush" event with some random junk after 
each "real" event to push the real event through the buffer. This works fine 
when the events aren't too frequent, but it's obviously not a great solution.

Is there any functionality available that allows for setting a timeout in the 
ProxyServlet after which any buffered response content would automatically be 
flushed via chunking? If not, would this be difficult to implement?

Jetty rules!

Thanks,
LP
