Log:
only attempt to read from the http request's input stream if the
client specified a positive content length. this avoids io exceptions
being written to the debug stream when we know the input stream should
not have any content.
again i'm not conviced you are correct.
the 'HttpServlet' interface defines the following for the
getContentLength method:
getContentLength()
Returns the length, in bytes, of the request body and made available by
the input stream, or -1 if the length is not known. For HTTP servlets,
same as the value of the CGI variable CONTENT_LENGTH.
from my understanding the contentlength is therefore -1 if the
request body is sent 'chunked' as defined by http 1.1
for this reason i checked for the inputstream not being null
and did not check the content-length. what do you think?

angela
