why you say this?

yes, it's right

data has already come over the wire; data is stored somewhere in request_rec;
if you want access (but in read-only as no update api was provided) this data
(client post parameters), you have to use ap_should_client_block(); who is
wasting what?!?
.

yes sir!
if (ap_should_client_block(r)) {
char *p=r->connection->client->inptr;
after calling ap_should_client_block(r), you can freely access post parameters
pointing a char* to r->connection->client->inptr;
there are stored post parametrs, exactly what you are searching for....BUT!!!
BUT...this is true only for http; if you are using https, at that address you
will not find post parameters; to access them in https is very very tricky
and i was not able to do it (sigh!)
