The problem with twisted.web right now is that before my Resource.render_ hander is called to process the request, the http.Request object has already received all of the bytes and either put them in a StringIO or a TemporaryFile. I'd like to be able to get at the incoming data stream and handle it directly, and it appears that web2 had a sort of consumer API that allowed the Resource to handle the stream. I'm still reading documentation and trying to figure out how I can implement that in twisted.web itself. Thoughts on that would be appreciated.

You probably want to join in on the conversation on this ticket: <http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/288>.  Perhaps even contribute some patches :).
