But you'll run out of memory.

Ideally, you halve the memory required and remove the need for a memory copy. Realistically, that depends on the implementation of realloc(). A poor implementation of realloc() or a fragmented address space may result in several memory copies.
Why do you need the entire HTTP request in memory? Ideally, you would only put the HTTP headers in memory and the following POST or PUT data would be written directly to the CGI program.
