[hunchentoot-devel] finish-output usage in create-static-file-dispatcher-and-handler
Hi, Just for curiosity, in create-static-file-dispatcher-and-handler function, wouldn't it be better if we flush the buffer finally in the loop instead of calling finish-output at every step. Does it have a special objective, e.g., for debugging purposes, portability issues? And maybe, it'd even be better to use (or to support optionally) force-output instead of finish-output. (With price of not receiving any acknowledgment about the flushed buffer.) Regards.

The way it works now it'll send separate chunks if chunked encoding is used.

I doubt that using FORCE-OUTPUT really buys you anything except for very rare situations. I'd rather advise the user to write his own version of C-S-F-D-A-H in this case.
