Is it possible to get the size of an incoming request? If so, how

I read somewhere that it's up to the browser to set that value.

Indeed it is.  You then read Content-Length bytes.  If there are more
bytes on the line, they're just line noise.

Of course, if you run HTTP/1.1 you may not get a Content-length header.
Apache will dechunk it for you, but you won't know the size in advance.
