I've additionally tested the two files on nginx with PHP as FCGI. The request simply
doesn't go throught to PHP and nginx gives 401 back. I've attached gdb to the PHP and set
a break in the accept loop - there was no reaction when using the two test files, but requests
without data got down to PHP. So my conclusion were - apache simply ignores the request body where
nginx gives a correct http status. Anyways, this has nothing to do with PHP. IIS, Apache and Nginx
seem to have no implementation for chunked incoming body stuff, but they do handle that a different
way.
Btw. Nginx has the "chunkin" module for such actions.

I have the same problem on my machine and can confirm this bug!
i think this bug affects mod_spdy aswell, because it sends the POST data chunked!
( http://code.google.com/p/mod-spdy/issues/detail?id=22
).

Description:
------------
When a POST is sent with the header "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" and PHP 5.3 is
running via FastCGI, $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is not set. In IIS, the receiving PHP
process simply hangs and does not execute at all. If chunked encoding is not set,
it executes successfully and $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is populated.
Comparing ISAPI to FastCGI (using PHP 5.2 which has both implementations), PHP
ISAPI works fine with "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" but PHP FastCGI does not.
This issue also occurred running Linux/Apache with PHP 5.3 FastCGI. In that
scenario, the PHP process did not completely hang, but $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA and
php://input were empty when the script executed.
Test script:
---------------
Two files, postsend.php and postreceive.php, can be found within the question here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8899239/http-raw-post-data-not-being-populated-after-upgrade-to-php-5-3
Expected result:
----------------
$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA and the php://input stream should contain the raw binary data
that was sent in the POST.
Actual result:
--------------
On Windows/IIS, the PHP process hangs and does not execute.
On Linux/Apache, the PHP process executes but $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA and php://input
are empty.
