Ahem, what? It doesn't work, so does it sit on the couch all day?

I'm wondering if questions concerning twisted don't have a better forum. 
In any case, I can only comment on the general approach. For that, there 
are two things you can do:

1. When receiving the the request header, you have a content length. If 
that exceeds the allowed amount, shutdown() receiving and send an 
according HTTP response before closing the connection.
2. If the data exceeds the amount advertised by the content length, 
close the connection and discard the request. If you want to be nice, 
send an according response before closing, but I personally wouldn't go 
to that effort for broken HTTP clients.

Concerning the question why your client hangs, it could also be the 
sending. If you try to send something before receiving the full request, 
client and server could enter a deadlock where each side waits for the 
other to receive some data. For that reason, you should shutdown() 
receiving in such a case.
