I use this with Apache when I want to send output to the user prior to the completion of the page. This is also how most chat rooms work. Basically, the content length is communicated for each chunk within the content itself, so the Content-Length header is not necessary, nor is it necessary to generate the entire output prior to sending it to the client.
