Are your multi-megabyte submissions going to use multipart/form-data
encoding? If so, ModSecurity does exactly what you need when you
enable request body buffering.

I'm facing a situation where we may be required to handle multi-

know
of either built-in support for pre-buffering complete POST request
bodies (i.e. avoid streaming through to the WAS plug-in) or a module
that would do that same?
If no, does this approach sound right?
Input filter that:
(a) determines if it should do anything (looks at the content-length,
URL, etc.)
(b) looks at each bucket (AP_MODE_PEEK?), holds a reference, and
returns
a empty brigade unless EOS found
(c) if EOS found, the output brigade is filled with all the existing
buckets
I'm currently running 2.0, but could bump up my migration to 2.2 if
there's a specific feature that would help.
