For future users reading this thread... this means that the Iphone sent the
JSON object POSTing to the page directly in the data stream, without "the
usual" form encoding. For that, you can access what has been posted "in raw
format" with request.body.read().
PS: Keep the code small
import gluon.contrib.simplejson as sj #just if you don't have simplejson
in python path
#in that case "import simplejson as sj" works
data = sj.loads(request.body.read())
