Re: Reading POST request without destroying it?

[Steve Kemp <st...@steve.org.uk>]

  A while back I asked for help with reading POST data in a module,
 such that it would still be available for use by CGI processes etc.

  I thought I had a solution using brigades and buckets, but it
 seems like I'm still missing the obvious as my data is still removed
 by the time mod_cgi/mod_php is invoked.

  I've included the code I'm using below, if there is anything
 immediately visible I'd appreciate pointers ..

{
    apr_bucket_brigade *bb;
    int seen_eos = 0;
    apr_status_t rv;
    apr_uri_t       *uri = &r->parsed_uri;
    uri->query = "";

    bb = apr_brigade_create(r->pool,r->connection->bucket_alloc);
    do 
    {
        apr_bucket *bucket;
        rv = ap_get_brigade(r->input_filters,bb,AP_MODE_READBYTES,APR_BLOCK_READ,HUGE_STRING_LEN);
        if (rv != APR_SUCCESS)

            return NULL;
