So it'll still be handed to the client but the client would just ignore
everything by doing nothing.<br>

I eventually detect that the content is more than I want to handle or that
they payload is b0rked (e.g. invalid iCalendar data, or amount exceeding
limits, says it sends a text/plain but actually uploads an avi etc), I
would just want to close the stream?<br>
<br>
you can't really just close it as there might already be another HTTP request
pipelined in the same connection. If you're behind a load balancer it might
even be from a different client.<br>

I can absolutely do that. My thinking so far was that in the next phone
meeting we decide whether that API is generally what people think is acceptable.
And if yes we improve the API where necessary. But if there's interest
I'm happy to send a v2 around.<br>
