Depending on your needs, you can pass an iterator to HttpResponse in
order to generate chunks on the fly. This works for me using
apache/mod_fastcgi. Something like this:

def myview(request):
def inner():
yield "first chunk"
yield "second chunk"
return HttpResponse(inner())

Obviously this will not work if you require middleware that operates
over the entire response body.
