/*
The call to flush() uses a feature of HTTP 1.1 that allows data to be
sent in smaller loads. When calling flush() or sending a large
amount of data (in version 1.0.3) chunked encoding is used. 

If you are using an HTTP 1.0 server or proxy server the chunked 
transfer may cause problems.

You can avoid the chunking behavior with small transactions by just
calling close() where you were using flush(). For larger transactions
you need to buffer your output so a single write() and close() are
issued to the output stream.
