cURL <-> Netty: getContent over 1024 characters

Question

I am using LittleProxy which implements Netty . I am trying to receive the content of an HTTP request (which contains XML).

This works perfectly, until I receive content over 1024 characters (bytes?). I still see the request coming in, and I can see the correct content-length from the HTTP header. However, the content is not returned at all (empty string).

How can I receive more content? My HTTP requests contain SOAP message sent by cURL who will definitely exceed 1024 bytes.

Add code. Please. We won't be able to solve your problem without knowing it... — ppeterka
I am using the LittleProxy source code almost unaltered... The code is here: github.com/adamfisk/LittleProxy — Thomas
Hmmm, I am starting to suspect this a cURL problem (which I am using to send a HTTP POST request with XML). — Thomas

It was a cURL problem, apparently there are some complications when sending a file over 1024 bytes.

Since I used cURL purely for testing purposes, I moved to a simple Java program to send my SOAP messages. Now, LittleProxy (or Netty) handles the content just fine, way passed 1024 bytes.
