Just don't append the EOS bucket. That EOS is what is confusing the
content-length filter, and it is what is causing only part of the data to
be sent. EOS buckets signify to the filter stack that no more data will
ever be sent on this connection. If there is even the chance that there
will be more data, don't send an EOS bucket. If you don't ever send the
EOS bucket, then Apache will just take care of it for you.
