Hi all,

just wanted to report that there is a potential form data parsing
problem in WebUtils.
I wont call it a bug yet, because it could arguably be called a feature.

If you send a POST form with an URL that includes GET data then
FieldStorage will include both. Especially if you POST something like
"id=42" and have "id=23" in the URL, FieldStorage will end up with "id:
[42,23]", breaking code that expects a number here.

Typically this unwantedly happens with forms that use POST but have been
created from a GET request and do not explicitly specify an ACTION
property in the FORM tag.

This behaviour is new with 1.* and did not occur in older versions of
WebWare.

kind regards,
              Fionn
