raise POST_MAX after instantiation

[Jonathan <ap...@2xlp.com>]

I have POST_MAX set at 10k when i instantiate an apache2::request  
object and stash it in a context object at the start of my modperl  
handler

annoyingly, i've run into a situation where a single page needs ~50k  
of post data

what is the standard method for dealing with that? i think the only  
way to deal with this might be trying to figure out if i'm  
dispatching to the 'fat' page before i instantiate the request  
object.  am i right?

unfortunately not... all those approaches give me the 'Conflicting  
Information' message that everything else i tried did

I think the issue is entirely because I cause a parse via a ->param  
call on my apreq stash very early on in apache, usually either:
	on a cookie check handler, before the main handler
	right on the line or so of my main handler, as i create a context  
object for my dispatch

i think that once , upon a time, there was information on the docs  
that this was impossible

in any event, after parse is called -- either explicitly or  
implicitly by accessing param/args -- i think it may be impossible to  
make a new apache2::request object that is tied to the  
apache2:requestrec , or raise/lower the post_max/readlimit

for now, i've got an array of regexes for pages that get higher  
post_max/readlimit, and i create my initial post_max  based on  
whether or not the uri matches to an element in the list

gets the job done, but its dirty dirty dirty
