Well you are right, for now mod_lisp reads all the data sent by the browser 
by asking Apache to decode the incoming chunks when chunked encoding is 
used. This could be modified for very big downloads by modifying somewhat 
the mod_lisp protocol. Maybe by sending an header like "chunked-encoding t" 
and then sending all the chunks preceded by their size with a size of 0 to 
signal when all the chunks have been transmitted.
