 Do you need this in 1.1.13? If yes, I'll close the bug once i backport it.

 Awesome! Yes. I do need this in 1.1.13 for SLES 10. Thanks!

+Backporting the change is doable, but this is a feature change, and
+this is something that we must discuss with other folks in the CODE10
+schedule.
+
+For one, there are some side effects of this: 4 gigabytes is above the
+2 gig limit imposed by ints (HttpRequest.ContentLenght is an int
+property).  So even if we have support for using a temporary file, it
+is not clear that it will work with arbitrary file sizes (above 2 gigs).  
+
+Someone needs to test this properly, and I do not want to be
+responsible for this testing nor the associated bug fixing on the
+1.1.13 branch.
+
+Jared, feel free to call me up if this is an issue.
