Description:
------------
due to network issue, or stopped by user
the content submitted by user maybe incomplete;
there should be a way to check it.
it's serious if the admins submit a incomplete post data. that will do unrecoverable damage.

i'd like if there's a function:
int content_is_complete()
which
  return strlen(content) == Content-Length;


yes, we can do '<input type=hidden value=1 name=complete></form>', and do isset($_POST['complete'])
but this is not easy for those html-designers to add it each <form> by hand

'<input type=submit name=submit>', and do isset($_POST['submit']), but not all "submit" is the last element of form

According to HTTP specification it's not possible to fool a web server by sending incomplete request.

The rules to determine if the request is complete are transparent and it's a web server job to only process the complete and valid HTTP requests.

As mentioned earlier this year, this is out of the scope of PHP.

Closing the issue.

Sorry about the wait.
