Hi Tomek,

are you aware of email threads and that you just hijacked another thread?

You could use a form of HTTP chunked encoding, but I never got round to
implementing that.

Instead, I used custom files to create such JSON files (not using SSI). Your
custom file handler code can then set these files to have a length so that
a persistent connection is not a problem.
