POST results in "HTTP/1.0 (null)" ??

[Paul J. Lucas]

        So from within a function, I'm doing

                my $r = Apache::Request->new( Apache->request() );
                warn "request=", $r->as_string(), "\n";

        and, when I to a POST request, I get:

Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, */*
Content-Length: 6978
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=curl3cwvW7Ge8lVBtEGuDRCENOMeIVO
Host: www.abacus-new.com:80
Pragma: no-cache
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0

HTTP/1.0 (null)

        Why is the content merely "HTTP/1.0 (null)"?  What happened to
        the other 6900 bytes or so?

        If I write a mimi server in Perl that jsut dumps the contents
        of the HTTP post, the posted data is correct.
