Empty POST-Requests crashes IIS application pool

Description
When sending empty POST-requests to the mapagent (http://localhost/mapguide/mapagent/mapagent.fcgi) the IIS application pool stops working after reaching the maximum number of errors in a specified time period (configured in advanced settings dialog of the application pool). Default is 5 errors in five minutes. POST-requests with any other data results at least in an error message or in a valid response. This leaves the application pool staying alive.
In my opinion its a potential security risk becausa anyone can crash an application pool by just doing a POST-request to the MapAgent.
In windows eventlogs the error is logged as of type WAS (Windows Activation Service)
To reproduce the error simply do a post with no data to the mapagent. I used cURL to do this:
curl -v "http://localhost/mapguide/mapagent/mapagent.fcgi" --request POST --data "" --user Administrator:admin
As a solution it would be nice if the MapAgent could send a proper message or errror back to the client, so that the application pool doesn't stop working.
