> In HTTP/1.1 any method may include a request body, whereas in HTTP/1.0 only POST and PUT were allowed to. To avoid any potential problems if a handler were trying to emulate in part the default Apache handler for requests, in would be appropriate for a handler to ensure that any request body is discarded. Apache provides a function specifically for this purpose which is called ap_discard_request_body(). For completeness this function should be available in the request object API as req.discard_request_body().
