Hello,

I am writing a perl authentication module for Apache2 that must inspect som=
e request parameters before authorizing the requestor and forwarding the re=
quest to a tomcat server via mod_jk.

With the GET request method this is easy, I can inspect the parameters usin=
g $r->args and forward the request.

With the POST request method I can READ the request body, but it appears th=
at the request body is removed from the request and is not forwarded to tom=
cat via mod_jk. Is this correct?

How do I inspect POST request parameters without modifying the request?

I know there must be a standard way to do this kind of thing but I have bee=
n unable find the answer after several hours of reading.
Thank you for your help.
-James
