WWWOFFLE will read all of the POST request from the client (browser)
and then send all of it to the server.  The data comes back from the
server and is sent straight to the client.  WWWOFFLE does not hold on
to the data for longer than it needs to.

The request came in to WWWOFFLE, was not cached and sent to the server
and all finished within one second.

I don't understand what you mean by this.  Did you see any other
WWWOFFLE requests during this time?  Did you expect any other requests
during this time?
