There are a few answers. One is <http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/288>, an enhancement request for a nice, documented API for handling request bodies as they arrive. Another is to override Request.handleContentChunk, which is called each time request body bytes are received (and decoded). A third is to override Request.gotLength and initialize the `content` attribute differently somehow. The default implementation of `handleContentChunk` just calls `self.content.write` with the content chunk.
