You can set cgi.maxlen and then catch the ValueError from
publisher.parse_request, but if apache (or whatever web server) does indeed
read the whole POST instead of handing the socket directly to the CGI script
then this will just save some extra parsing time, not save your RAM.

LimitRequestBody looks like what you want.
