We just upgraded Python to 2.6 on some of our servers and a number of

CGI scripts broke because the cgi module has changed the way it handles
POST requests. When the 'action' attribute was not present in the
form element on an HTML page the module behaved as if the value of the
attribute was the URL which brought the user to the page with the form,
but without the query (?x=y...) part.
[1] I haven't yet finished my attempts to parse the relevant RFCs; I
assumed that the original authors and maintainers of this module (which
includes the BDFL himself), would have been more adept at that than I
am, which is one of the reasons I was hoping to find some discussion in
the mailing list archives of the discussion of the proposed change in
the module's behavior.
I noticed this change in behaviour too, and indeed, it is due to
http://bugs.python.org/issue1817
But I could not find any RFC/standard/reccomendation/whatever that clearly
states *what* should happen with a POST request directed to an URI having
a query string itself. So I could not say "it's a bug" -- it's just...
annoying in these cases (although it might be useful in some other cases,
I think)
A posible workaround is to ensure all forms have an action attribute, and
that it doesn't contain any query string.
