Just so everyone isn't in the dark about what I'm trying to do :) I'm trying to modify mod_include so that it initially reads POST content and stores that in a block of memory in the request pool. I was trying to use the bucket brigade to fill the area of memory but I'm not sure how to create a pipe to the block of memory. (Now I know why I like Java so much...ByteArrayOutputStream). Oh, and not to worry about eating up memory from a rogue request, I will have a variable cLimit (contentLimit) which will limit the size of the content.
Next, when the handle_include function is called for an include, I want to first retrieve the block of memory from the pool, then create an input stream from the the block of memory (ByteArrayInputStream in Java). The next step is to give this input stream to the sub request (rr)'s apr_input_filters and modify the method (change it back to that of the original request) before calling ap_run_sub_req(rr). The goal is to allow each include access to the original POST data as though it was the original request. Also, I'm setting this up so that it requires the directive vinclude instead of include.
