Can I somehow tell hunchentoot not to read and parse the post-data, but leaving raw-post-data as a binary stream which I can pass to the cgi-handler?
Hunchentoot is designed as terminating HTTP server, i.e. it does not expect to forward requests. For this, it is required that any request body is eventually read from the stream during handler processing.
Hm. Ok, then I wonder why raw-post-data exists anyway.
I wrote the patch for it some time ago to work with PayPal's "IPN" postback system of payment notification. There is a confirmation step that requires you post their post data back to them exactly as you received it.
The PDF at https://www.paypal.com/ipn has more information.
