Hi, I've looked into cgi.py from 2.4's distribution, and its contents puzzle me. In parse_header, the first line splits on ';':
plist = map(lambda x: x.strip(), line.split(';')) but header parameters may contain semicolon in quoted strings: Content-Type: image/jpeg; filename="home:lib;images;face.jpg" and headers like this one will be parsed incorrectly. A few subsequent lines unquote a quoted value, but the only place where quoted-string production is defined is RFC 3875, and there is no quote escaping in the production (nor in any other draft or related RFC). So, even if the former is fixed, the latter will still prevent headers like Content-Type: text/plain; filename="c:\files\"; title="My Files" from being parsed correctly. What am I missing?
