Hmm, UploadReadAheadSize is set to 49152 by default on all IIS versions, so
you ran some setup on the server that changed it.

It also means that your POST acceptor likely has a bug. What happens when
you POST data length > UploadReadAheadSize ? Try setting it to 1K and
posting 2K of data. My hunch is that the POST acceptor won't read 2K of
data. If so, this is a just a bug with the POST acceptor.

I actually found the solution to the solution on a Macromedia board
Using AC-MetaDataEditTool, I found that the UploadReadAheadSize was set to
0.  Useing the MetaDataEditTool, simply delete this variable
(LM/W3SVC/UploadReadAheadSize) and it works fine.
