While the file-like interface is difficult, other possible interfaces aren't so great either. As to putting the request body in the environment, I don't know what the problem is? Or are you just concerned that people put arbitrary things in the environ? There's far too many important use cases that are satisfied by the extensible nature of the environ to give it up just because some people believe it is overused. -- Ian Bicking | http://blog.ianbicking.org | http://topplabs.org/civichacker
