input filters

[CrazyAndy <ga...@theinventingmachines.com>]

hi, i have recently upgraded to mp2 and have been porting my apps to 
the new api. ( i don't want to run the compatibility modules. ) one of 
my apps needs to access the raw post data sent from a flash movie ( 
it's xml data ). previously, i simply called $r->content and attempted 
to create an xml::xpath object from the result.

the porting guide suggests using either the new filter api, or the 
still supported $r->read( $buf, $r->headers_in->{'content-length'} ) to 
get at the data.

temporarily, i have gone with the read option, but was wondering if 
there was any advantage to using the filter api, and if i would be able 
to create the xpath object in the filter phase, and have that available 
to the response phase?
