Under Apache CGI or mod_wsgi, in many situations you will get a deadlock in this scenario.
Under IIS CGI it's considerably more likely. The output buffer you get is smaller than Apache/Linux (at least on Win2K3 it's only 2KB), so even a relatively small error page spat out before reading the whole input will result in a cheeky hang.
Therefore, for maximum portability, a WSGI application should ALWAYS consume the *whole* request body if it wants to avoid the deadlock using the reference WSGI adapter in PEP 333 or mod_wsgi
