ParamsParser and request body streams

just uploading it with a .diff extension, per the docs on how to submit a patch

Although I've only added support such that the API doesn't break for the existing parsers, the only one that actually parses off the IO itself (without simply converting itself into a string because said backend can't parse as a stream) is the JSON backend yajl-ruby.

Although, the idea here is that backends like libxml and/or nokogiri could also be refactored at some point to support parsing directly off the IO. Not to say the others couldn't as well, or future parsers that will either be integrated into core, or as plugins.

What was the reason for removing the yajl-ruby backend and updated JSON test?
I realize now that I should have noted somewhere that the JSON test and yajl.rb backend were written by Rick Olson, and I merged them into my local clone.

Also, YAML.load_stream was changed back to YAML.load - was this because I didn't specify that in the ticket subject?

Yeah, I held off on the yajl. I figured Rick was working on that or something. Can you make a special ticket for that and assign it to him.

I had to revert the YAML change because it broke a bunch of tests. YAML.load_stream doesn't return a string, it returns some weird YAML IO thing. I couldn't get it to work right. Accepting updates ;)

I must have missed this in the docs, but apparently YAML.load can accept an IO. Appears to work exactly like passing it a string.

So I know this ticket has been marked resolved, but this patch compliments the other two by enabling true IO parsing for the libxml, nokogiri and rexml backends.

Any chances to get this in as well? Should I create a new ticket?
