--- Comment #6 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> ---
The only way to handle this would be to explicitly deny GET requests with a
content length header and close the connection with a 400 response.

If an application wants to do this, they can do so with a Filter.

There is no greater DoS risk with this than there is with a POST request that
fails to provide the complete request body.
