The way I've done this previously is to access the rfile attribute on instances of the BaseHTTPRequestHandler class, since this provides the body of each request (where POST data comes from) as a stream. Data read from the stream can be processed by things like cgi.parse or cgi.FieldStorage, although you may need to provide other data to those things in order to simulate the CGI environment properly. An alternative is to use WebStack's BaseHTTPRequestHandler support: http://www.python.org/pypi/WebStack Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
