well,
what i see that if i use a client who sends the request without split it
in chunks the 3rd party module works, otherwise i see in the logs the
request body completely messed up! the client that fails is a Microsoft
Web service which splits the request in 1024 bytes long chunks, while
the Java client send the request in a single 5785 bytes chunk ( the
lenght of the request ) and that works !!

Hi,
I'm running a third-party web service authentication module that hangs
when the request coming from the client is splitted out in
different chunks. I don't have access to the module and to the
client neither, so
I'm thinking to write an input filter that collects all the chunks
and pass'em to the downstream filter or handler .
Is that possible?
I would almost expect that if a module's filter is of the appropriate type then
is will not see the underlying representation (e.g. chunked or not). However
that impression may be due to me usually working with output filter.. The same
may not be the same for input from the client.
Also, Apache 2.2 mod_proxy has a feature to dechunk request bodies, see:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html#request-bodies
It sounds like your on a web server rather than a proxy, but the mod_proxy
implementation may provide you with some clues.
Hope that helps,
Paul
