Answer 1

RFC 2616 says:

An HTTP/1.1 (or later) client sending a message-body SHOULD monitor the network connection for an error status while it is transmitting the request. If the client sees an error status, it SHOULD immediately cease transmitting the body.

So I disagree, this is not a HTTP limitation but a servlet one.
