When Apache is decompressing the content you run up against a
limitation in way mutating input filters are dealt with.
Namely, when request content is decompressed, the content length in
the headers isn't updated to the actual final length of data. Thus, if
an application only reads up to content length, rather than all
available input, then it will truncate the data.
The only problem is that WSGI specification, which I know you aren't
using here, forbids you reading more than content length. Thus Django
cannot be changed in the way that ticket suggests as by ignoring
content length it would be in violation of WSGI specification and may
not work on all WSGI hosting mechanisms.
This is an issue which will hopefully be dealt with in WSGI 2.0
specification.
