Currently Apache::Request#read does not support chunked transfer-encoding.

Please use Apache::Request#get_client_block like this.

--------------------------------------------
SUFFICIENT_BLOCK_SIZE = 1024000
r = Apache.request
if r.headers_in["Transfer-Encoding"] == "chunked"
  body = ""
  r.setup_client_block(Apache::REQUEST_CHUNKED_DECHUNK)
  if r.should_client_block
    while (buf = r.get_client_block(SUFFICIENT_BLOCK_SIZE)) &&
          !buf.empty?
      body.concat(buf)
    end
  end
else
  body = r.read
end
r.content_type = "text/plain"
r.send_http_header
r.print(body)
--------------------------------------------

Please note that Apache::Request#get_client_block of mod_ruby-1.2.4
returns "" for EOF, but the one of the svn head returns nil instead
of "".
