 New Comment:

php://input is for standard input. Therefore, it does not make sense using 
php://input other than HTML forms. i.e. HTML forms send vars via POST method and 
POST method vars are sent to standard input.

Since PHP only supports GET/POST, we may support other HTTP verbs PUT/DELETE/etc.

Description:
------------
On some occations PHP has to work with data sent from different sources. Form data parsing with
complex data (arrays) differs from the PHP in Ruby, ASP, JSP and the like. It would be highly
beneficial for PHP to have _always_ possibility to determine custom input parser. 

Currently php://input can be only used for this end if input type isn't
"multipart/form-data".
