when using the web.xml and red.jsp and having
<tomcat-users xmlns="http://tomcat.apache.org/xml"
              xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
              xsi:schemaLocation="http://tomcat.apache.org/xml tomcat-users.xsd"
              version="1.0">
  <role rolename="manager"/>
  <user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="manager"/>
</tomcat-users>
in conf/tomcat-users.xml in tomcat you can get the problem with basic authentication:
curl --verbose --anyauth -u tomcat:tomcat http://localhost:8000/read.jsp -X POST -T file -H "Content-Type: text/plain"

file needs to be big enough ~8.5M

you will get:
[jfclere@dhcp-144-173 build]$ curl --verbose --anyauth -u tomcat:tomcat http://localhost:8000/read.jsp -X POST -T toto -H "Content-Type: text/plain"
