libapreq and filters

[dorian taylor <do...@foobarsystems.com>]

suppose i wanted to significantly alter the structure of a POST
request via Apache::Request, but i wanted to re-inject the request
body back into the input bucket brigade to be processed by a later
module? i'm thinking something like this:

POST from client

Apache::Request-based handler	consumes request body entirely
""				creates document based on POSTdata
""				changes request method to PUT
""				inserts new document back into stream

mod_put_xxxx			takes document to be PUT and PUTs it somewhere

is this kind of thing possible in any way?

Use a subrequest?
