Thanks Joe.
For the record, I actually picked some existing work, and refreshed it -
adding in zlib and compress support (without the previous requirement of
a proprietary library)- and made it mode generic and modular...
chunking itself works great... but the loss of information during the
cache->client transfer meant that on compressed tranferred range
requests, the chunk overhead could get counted against the data, and
other nasty things.
