Not really no. But if you limit yourself to platforms having threading support is is a normal inter-thread message problem. To my knowledge all platforms have threading support today. > Another question: > ICAP (consecuently running compression in a separate process) is suited > for this kind of transformation? ICAP would work for Content-Encoding but not for Transfer-Encoding, at least not without some support from the core as it must maintain the chunked stream state so message delimiting can be done correctly. But the concept of using a separate process does work, as always. The tricky part is efficient inter-process communication. Regards Henrik
