I should probably expand on this: How can I get an array with all the GET variables in Python? How can I get an array with all the POST variables in Python? How can I get an array with all the COOKIE variables in Python? How can I get the request URI path (everything after http://[www.?]example.com/)? That's all I want: no templates and nothing between me and the HTML. The HTTP headers I can output to stdout myself as well. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
