<PRE>Dear All

 From the source [1], it looks like the default maximum request body 
size is 8 million bytes, but this can be set per request, up to 
infinity.  In the latter case there seems to be no upper limit set by 
the server at all, and it will keep reading until some external force 
makes it stop.

That looks handy, if it means I don't have to stipulate a maximum 
request body size (as long as I make sure the machine cowboy is running 
on has a sensible amount of memory).

Is that the case?  If not, please correct.

With thanks and best wishes

Ivan
