[users@httpd] Does Apache 2 allow modules to read post data non-destructively?
With Apache 2, is it possible to write a module that reads HTTP POST data
and still have this data accessible by scripts (eg. PERL) running after the
module?
In Apache 1 this is not possible. If you read post data in your module it
is wiped out by Apache and is inaccessible by subsequent scripts.
Thanks

It is possible to "read" the post data, by creating an input filter. The
input filter can do processing on the data, and then pass it to the next
filter. If you are just looking for something in the data, then you can
find it and set a flag. If you need a full copy of the data, then you
will have to copy it yourself.

I believe it is the same with apache 2 - though there was some talk of
allowing you to 'peek' ahead into the buckets without plowing through
them.
