Hi, I want to limit SOAP requests size while using SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Daemon but i've found that it totally ignores SOAP::Constants::MAX_CONTENT_SIZE setting. I created workaround by developing my own daemon class which overrides handle() method: 
package SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Daemon2;
use SOAP::Transport::HTTP;
use HTTP::Response;
use Data::Dumper;

@ISA = qw(SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Daemon);

sub handle 
{
    my $self = shift->new;
    while ( my $c = $self->accept ) 
    {
        while ( my $r = $c->get_request ) 
        {
            $self->request($r);
            SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Server::handle($self);

            my $length = $r->headers->header('Content-Length') || 0;
                                            
            if (!$length) {
                $c->send_response(HTTP::Response->new(411))
            }
            elsif ($length > $SOAP::Constants::MAX_CONTENT_SIZE) {
                $c->send_response(HTTP::Response->new(413))
            }            
            else {
                   $c->send_response($self->response);
            }
        }

        $c->can('shutdown')
          ? $c->shutdown(2)
          : $c->close();
        $c->close;
    }        
}

Yet, I'm not sure if this is the proper way. Is there an out-of-the-box solution? As far as i am concerned the only class that uses MAX_CONTENT_SIZE is CGI server class... And if sub-classing is the only choice then did i missed something in my code?
