Fair enough.  I was under the (now obviously wrong) impression that 
setting post_max_size to 0 wouldn't let me get to the post data.

But that's still setting you dependent on it being Apache.  I would need 
(if I were to add this feature to any of my software) to write this in 
code that can run on IIS or as CGI (because it is intended for end-users.)

Very interesting.

Thank you,
