Aw, that's terribly sad news. No wonder I couldn't get it to work! lol
That's awesome about the patch, but the module I'm working is intended
to be distributed, and expecting end users to compile in a patch would
probably too much to ask of them.
The module I'm working on updates the headers and proxies the requests
for specific file types off to Tomcat HTTP and AJP ports. I suppose I
can look into using LWP::UserAgent for this kind of work instead of a
subrequest, I just don't want to have to "re-invent the wheel" of trying
to do things mod_proxy_http and mod_proxy_ajp are already doing.
I wonder if I can set the hander for the LWP::UserAgent request to be
the proxy_handler like we're doing with the subrequests now... hmmm...
Thank you very much for your help Torsten. I really appreciate your
wisdom and experience in this area.
Warm Regards,
Jordan Michaels

No, subrequests don't have a request body by definition. It's hard coded in
httpd 2.2.x.
Enclosed you find a patch for httpd 2.2.21 that makes is possible to attach
the request body of the main request to a subreq made by mod_includes<!--
#include virtual ... -->. The intent at the time of writing of the patch was
to send a POST request via mod_proxy to a backend server passing the original
req body where the subreq was initiated by the mod_include response handler.
It turned out to be quite tricky.
Maybe it helps.
