I'm not sure that lynx can handle compressed response on the fly - it uses gzip in pipe. The best way to test it using netcat. > So it seems that I am still unable to get the functionality I am looking for. I you like to test I can make patch for mod_deflate to flush Apache. But if major browsers can not handle compressed content on the fly it's not valueable. Igor Sysoev
