Of course then $_POST isn't available, so if you want to handle normal 
POST data in the same request it also has to be manually parsed. I use 
an .htaccess file to limit this to the one file handling these requests.

I believe you could use $_SERVER/$_ENV['CONTENT_LENGTH'] in CGI, I don't 
know about the IIS ISAPI module though.
