Ok, so this is working right now, and most of errors were mine.
1. The error about cgi.py was related to wrong headers in axios request,
and the need to use backticks to use correctly parameters in the url, so
NOT web2py related
2. Missed some details on FormData() docs, and did things wrong.
I'll try to make a small guide and simple sample app to show how easy is to
make it work, actually Web2py, VueJS and Axios play along really well.
Sorry to bother everyone with this.
