  Vetoed the first attempt at a 2.1-dev mod_proxy_http request body
  backport - so note this as a showstopper rather than reverting the code.

  Also note the RFC bug that the -trace.patch corrects.

                 the issues of correctly sending the body and choosing the

                 transport flavor.



    * http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs?rev=171205&view=rev [committed]

      backport this fix from 2.1-dev:

      proxy HTTP: Rework the handling of request bodies to handle

      chunked input and input filters which modify content length, and

      avoid spooling arbitrary-sized request bodies in memory.

           This patch needs to be reverted or ammended by the patch above;

           this resulting code is more complex, yet equally faulty in it's

           C-L/T-E elections for a number of specific cases.  No opinion

           between the choice of reverting and re-backporting, or simply

           patching-the-patch.



    * TRACE must not have a request body per RFC2616; see the -trace.patch

      below for one of two alternatives.  The other alternative; simply

      hack mod_proxy.c to reject TRACE when a body is seen, again see that

      -trace.patch for an illustration.
