Yes, someone else saw the problem. There's information in the
archives. What I can recall off the top of my head is that because an
HTTP request has to finish before the response can begin, Tomcat would
need to suck in all the POST data before generating a response, even if
the size is been determined to be too large. The person who hit this
problem was investigating adding this capability to Tomcat.
