Thanks, but what I need is to access this stream coming from a browser
ie the actual stream whoose total length is set by the HTTP variable
CONTENT_LENGTH the stream does not come in as cgi style url encoded as it would in case of a HTML form. Setting the content type helps make the browser understand what to receive , THanks for that.
IF you know how I could access the  stream coming form the browser within
my DTML doc please let me know
thanks
