Hi,

I have Apache acting as a reverse proxy for some internal servers.  I
have written an INPUT filter in the reverse proxy which buffers large
POSTs of type multipart/form-data.  Since buffering of large of amounts
of data will take some time, I would like to slowy trickle a few bytes
every so offten while continuing to buffer the POSTed data.  I've tried
inserting buckets which contain a few bytes of data into the output
brigade and then calling ap_fflush but this does not work.  The
ap_fflush functions calls ap_pass_brigade which I believe only works for
output filters.  How can an input filter do what I want. =20

Thanks for any help

James
