Just tested the same scenario on JRun and successfully get the data posted from the dotnet application. What I am thinking in my mind is tomcat is filtering the incoming requests and filtering the data which comes without handle i.e without name value pair, so that it can put the name value pair in RequestParameter collection/hash.
If this is true there must be a way through which the tomcat allows this type of information which is posted on to the input stream, hope this might help gurus to get to the exact solution.
