I meant "in case we're performing output compression" :I

Personally: No. - However, the docs for the output handling system seems to indicate that output buffering "filters" may be nested. I could imagine that this will pose troubles if Content-Length headers are sent along in each output buffering module(?): http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ob-start.php Quoting: Output buffers are stackable, that is, you may call ob_start() while another ob_start() is active. Just make sure that you call ob_end_flush() the appropriate number of times. If multiple output callback functions are active, output is being filtered sequentially through each of them in nesting order.

Yeah, I know :) However, the way it works, you're already pretty much screwed if you do anything with the compressed buffer anyway. Zeev
