Good question. It isn't really designed to do this. POST request may be
almost unbounded in size, and some streaming over HTTP protocols (i.e.
RSTP over HTTP) relies on it not being buffered..

We don't.. but yes there is a temporary buffer of limited size, used for
buffering request headers and data until it can be sent to the server.

How big are these requests that you need to buffer?
