You must have missed my post where I outlined ap_get_brigade()
calls.  I think that's the proper way to deal with reading
request data.  I believe that strategy matches the rest of
our server's architecture (uses buckets/brigades).

Yes, as I have repeatedly mentioned, if a filter were to use
the strategy I outlined (which can be done right now - perhaps
with the exception of the 100-Continue stuff which could easily
be moved into HTTP_IN I think), they will be broken since the Limit
directive will not be respected.  -- justin
