Accessing the request stream with out dechunking

Hi,

I am writing a httpd module using Apache 2.2.6. I want to access the
request stream with out dechunked  when transfer encoding is chunked. I
am using ap_setup_client_block(req,REQUEST_CHUNKED_DECHUNK) at the
beginning and use ap_get_client_block to read data. 
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
-Manjula.

and disabling any filters that you expected to work with your module.
You would do better not replacing transport protocol management and
let the underlying server do what it does.

Probably

Drop the ap_*_client_block API and read from the input chain.
You'll probably want to go straight to the protocol filter
and/or walk the chain removing any filters that are incompatible
with your module.

BTW, I think this belongs more on the modules list than here.
