If you are using mod_gcip or mod_deflate to compresss HTML output, you're not able to send partial file to the browser....

To disable mod_deflate in PHP (if needed), you can tell Apache with this :

apache_setenv('no-gcip', '1');

When you need to set the KERY_STRING variable into a pague included with the "virtual" function do this:

virtual ("some_pague.shtml?$QUERY_STRING");

apache_setenv does not worc for this case.
