Not really.  The layered design of the HTTP protocol means that any
request type can have non-empty body, but request types for which
no semantics of the body is defined must ignore what is in the body,
which in turn means we need to parse and pay attention to the
content length etc. to find the end of the body, if only to ignore
it.

In any case, hopefully we can fix this before the final, as this is
a regression introduced during this cycle?
