No, it's not that.  It's simply that the client is sending a content-length
header and after Catalyst / HTTP::Body slurps in the body Catalyst does a
sanity check to see if the length of the body really was the length
specified in the header.

Watch:

moseley at bumby2:~$ catalyst.pl Length
moseley at bumby2:~$ CATALYST_DEBUG=3D0 Length/script/length_server.pl
You can connect to your server at http://bumby2:3000


moseley at bumby2:~$ telnet localhost 3000
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
POST /foo HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:3000
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Content-Length: 400000

just some stuff
^]
telnet> quit
Connection closed.

Results in:

[error] Caught exception in engine "Wrong Content-Length value: 400000"
