org.apache.coyote.tomcat5.CoyoteInputStream.close()

[Tim Koop <gr...@timkoop.com>]

Hi everyone.

The Javadoc comment on 
org.apache.coyote.tomcat5.CoyoteInputStream.close() says this:

"Close the stream Since we re-cycle, we can't allow the call to 
super.close() which would permantely disable us."

I suspect a call to the underlying ServletInputStream.close() could be 
quite handy in some circumstances.  You might want to close the actual 
stream if someone is sending you a few GB of data and you actually want 
to close it.

I'm not exactly sure the best way to do this.  Perhaps CoyoteInputStream 
could have a method closeServletInputStream(), which could be called by 
casting request.getInputStream() to a CoyoteInputStream.

Any other thoughts?
