Hello Maxim,

Is there no such option just because nobody implemented it? Or is it
because of some kind of technical constraint?

Do you recommend to people developing Comet style application to use
HTTP proxying instead of FastCGI?

Is it difficult to implement the option "fastcgi_buffering off", using
the same technique as in the source code of module HTTP proxy?

Thanks for your advice,
