I'm writing a little HTTP server and need to parse request content that

How about using cgi.parse_multipart()?
Unfortunately cgi.parse_multipart doesn't handle nested multiparts,
which the requests I'm getting have. You have to use a FieldStorage
object to do that, and that only works if you're actually in a cgi
environment, which I am not. The server responds to these requests
directly.
Anyway, thanks for the idea.
Hm, it actually seems to work if I manually pass in the outerboundary
parameter and environ={'REQUEST_METHOD':'POST'} That seems like the
Right Answer.
I'm also using it to parse form parameters in a message body received by
POST.
CIao, Michael.
