Is there an existing issue for this?

Describe the bug

RTSP over HTTP Protocol (used in FFMPEG, VLC, Live555 and SharpRTSP etc) uses a Long Running HTTP POST.
I have to keep reading from the POST until the TCP socket closes (or dies).
I have to ignore any Content Length in the request, which is often set to 32767.

To ignore the Content Length I wrote Middleware to modify the ContentLength toMaxLong

Bug 1: Kestrel has already created a Http1ContentLengthMessageBody by the time my Middleware runs and it does not pass the newMaxLong value intoHttp1ContentLengthMessageBody
Http1ContentMessageBody then stops at 32767 bytes which is not what I want.

Bug 2: Or looking at it another way, Kestrel does not identify "Content-Type: application/x-rtsp-tunnelled" and use a Body Reader that can read forever (until the socket closes or dies)

Expected Behavior

For Bug 1 - Expected behaviour is for Kestrel to use the new Content Length (MaxLong) so I can read the TCP Socket forever (until the socket closes or dies)

OR for Bug 2 - the expected behaviour is for Kestrel to identify RTSP-Over-HTTP and ignore the Content Length automatically.

Steps To Reproduce

Full demo of the issue is at
https://github.com/RogerHardiman/kestrel_ignore_content_length

This creates two tasks.
Task 1 is a Server with Middleware to change Content Length to MaxLong
Task 2 uses TCPClient to send a POST request with a Content Length of 200. It then sends more than 200 data bytes.

Kestrel stops receiving data from the POST after 200 bytes. I need Kestrel to receive data on the POST forever, until the Socket closes or dies

Exceptions (if any)

It is not an exception.
I see the issue as HTTPRequest.Body.ReadAsync returning a read length of 0 (zero) bytes.

Anything else?

I'd be happy with any way to read from a POST until the socket closes or dies and ignore Content Length
