I think it would be pretty easy to handle all cases by inserting another
process in front of http-backend that just reads $CONTENT_LENGTH bytes
and then gives an EOF to http-backend. I assume that's what your bash
script does. It's just that this passes the data through an extra layer
of pipes.

If that's an acceptable tradeoff, it seems like an ideal solution from a
maintainability standpoint, since it skips all the tricky situations
inside the http-backend code.
