This looks like a recent change? Posted data is read before any
processing. Actually it reads the 'Content-length' number of bytes. This
is probably for efficiency. You have to read all the data anyway, but
now the POSTed data is read in so you don't have a tcl procedure slowly
reading data and controlling the connection. Overall it is faster to
read the data beforehand. You can create test post requests by using a
little tool I wrote a long time ago:

For instance, post to http://zmbh.com/show-form/show-form.tcl

or add a query to that url to create the equivalent post request, also
that page has instructions for testing via telnet.
