HTTP - how to send multiple pre-cached gzipped chunks?

[Sławek Janecki]

Lets say I have 2 individually gziped html chunks in memory. Can I send chunk1+chunk2 to HTTP client? Does any browser supports this? Or there is no way to do this and I have to gzip the whole stream not individual chunks?

I want to serve to clients for example chunk1+chunk2 and chunk2+chunk1 etc (different order) but I don't want to compress the whole page every time and I dont want to cache the whole page. I want to use precompressed cached chunks and send them.

nodejs code (node v0.10.7):

// creating pre cached data buffers
var zlib = require('zlib');
var chunk1, chunk2;
zlib.gzip(new Buffer('test1'), function(err, data){
  chunk1 = data;
});
zlib.gzip(new Buffer('test2'), function(err, data){
  chunk2 = data;
});


var http = require('http');
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
      res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain', 'Content-Encoding': 'gzip'});
      // writing two pre gziped buffers
      res.write(chunk1); // if I send only this one everything is OK
      res.write(chunk2); // if I send two chunks Chrome trying to download file
      res.end();
}).listen(8080);

When my example server returns this kind of response Chrome browser display download window (it doesnt understand it :/
