[mod_python] Re: Chunked request content patch

Thanks for adding the patches.

If I ever get a chance, I'll compare your patches against completely
rewritten equivalent code I have in mod_wsgi and see how they compare

mod_wsgi code doesn't attempt to handled chunked as WSGI specification
doesn't allow it.
