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. It should be possible to make request forwarding work, but that will require tracing the internals of Hunchentoot and finding out where and why the post body is actually read, then come up with a configurable mechanism to supress request body processing for certain requests.
