Apache with mod_php5 do the same, at least, this does not work:

<?

$fp = fopen ('php://input', 'r');

while(!feof($fp))
{
        $str = fgets($fp);
        error_log("Got: $str");
}

?>

AFAIK, Apache is the most popular web-server, but still it's impossible to
use.
Since "-progress" option is using HTTP as transport, it seems strange that
server implementation become so complicated.

HTTP/1.0 would be quite enougth. One connection per second is not a problem.
My C skills are not so good, so writting a patch by myself would be a last
resort.

Thank you.
