No it doesn't; it says that 'Applications SHOULD use this field to indicate the transfer-length of the message-body, unless this is prohibited by the rules in section 4.4' Rule 2 of section 4.4 clearly indicates that you must not set it if you are transferring data using the chunked transfer encoding (in fact, any transfer encoding other than 'identity'). It is sub optimal in most use cases to buffer the entire response and gzip encode it, so mod_deflate does the sane thing and so transfers it in chunks. Cheers Tom
