<snipped rest>

Hmm.  It looks like the HTTP body contains content, but presumably
hasn't been parsed yet.

Are you able to test against Perlover's pull request:

https://github.com/sukria/Dancer/pull/702 

I'd be interested to know if that helps or not.  From the dump above,
it looks like the HTTP headers have been parsed already, so I'm not
convinced it should make any difference.

You said in another mail that this only happens when you run via
Apache, not running stand-alone I believe; can you share the Apache
config you're using so I can attempt to reproduce the problem?

Cheers
