That makes sense for small pieces of data such as might be posted by a browser
from a typical form. But browsers doing a file upload could send huge amounts
of data, possibly many megabytes. Trying to store all of it in memory would be
a bad idea. Also, not every HTTP client is a web browser, some POST form
submissions could be huge transactions even without a file upload.
