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.
