I tried instance, but is not working is you want to access let's say,
POST data in a authentication handler, doing same data validation or
whatever you want to do, and also access the same POST data at response
phase.

And this is because, as it is explained in guide, POST data are
retrieved directly from the socket.So once you read that, is gone.

The only way to keep this around that I know about is to internally
transform POST in a GET.

For sure this is not the best solution, specially if you have large POST
body, because you can exceed GET maximum length.
