if you're using libapreq, i the APR object will have an error and i  
think the upload method will die if you try calling it .  in all  
situations, i believe calling $apr-> body_status will show you an  
error message.  For an exceeded POST_MAX, this will work

	my  $error = $self->PageUser->ApacheRequest->body_status();
	if ( $error eq 'Exceeds configured maximum limit' ) {}

see:
	http://httpd.apache.org/apreq/docs/libapreq2/ 
group__apreq__xs__request.html#body_status

i can't comment on other situations.  i'm not sure exactly how data  
is handled in terms of when the connection is closed. that might be  
in the http spec. i'm also not sure how a proxy server would fit into  
this , if you were limiting the body content on the proxy.

'fat' is vs 'skinny' -- 10mb vs 10k.
