<para>
This function reads the HTTP body from the client HTTP connection and returns it as a string output.
This is suitable for processing POST requests with bodies encoded differently than <literal>multipart/*</literal> and
<literal>application/x-www-form-urlencoded</literal> as in SOAP requests where the POST body is encoded as <literal>text/xml</literal>).
