newline after POST data?

Hi folks.

I'm writing an application which sends POST data to the server.  The
client sometimes does not send the trailing newline after the POST
data:  For example, the request may look like this

     GET /cgi-bin/test HTTP/1.0
     <headers...>
     Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
     Content-Length: 15

     data_cmd=XX&x=y<EOF>

Tomcat does not get ANY of the post data (e.g. looking through the
HttpServletRequest parameter in a servlet does not show the "data_cmd"
or "x" parameter at all.

Is this a known bug?  I am currently using the binary distribution of
Tomcat-3.1  (However, I'm in the process of building the latest version
from the CVS repository, so hopefully I'll be able to provide better
information at some point.)

Thanks very much.
