Description:
------------
Reading the PHP input stream with the fopen('php://input') routine before calling http_get_request_body() on a PUT HTTP request.

Here are some examples:

A POST request:
*********************************************************
PUT http://example.com/requestbodytest.php HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
Keep-Alive: 300
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Type: text/xml
Content-Length: 58

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<body>test</body>
*********************************************************


with the following script:
*********************************************************
<?php
$body = '';
$fh   = @fopen('php://input', 'r');
if ($fh)
{
  while (!feof($fh))
  {
    $s = fread($fh, 1024);
    if (is_string($s))
    {
      $body .= $s;
    }
  }
  fclose($fh);
}
print("-------------- PHP Input Stream ----------------\n$body\n\n");

$body2 = http_get_request_body();
print("---------- http_get_request_body() -------------\n$body2\n\n");

?>
*********************************************************


outputs this:
*********************************************************
-------------- PHP Input Stream ----------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<body>test</body>

---------- http_get_request_body() -------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<body>test</body>
*********************************************************


The same request to the same script using an HTTP PUT request, however, outputs this:
*********************************************************
-------------- PHP Input Stream ----------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<body>test</body>

---------- http_get_request_body() -------------
*********************************************************

Note: php://input can only be read once.

Sorry, this is a insuperable limitation.
