Hi, [modified slightly from a similar proposal to zope3-dev to match Zope 2's publisher] I'm writing up a proposal for the ZODB to make even more efficient Blob handling possible. This includes not copying the data from an uploaded file, but using a `link` operation when possible. However, the HTTPRequest class currently uses the default implementation of the cgi module's FieldStorage. I propose to create a small subclass to override the `make_file` method to use `NamedTemporaryFile` instead of `TemporaryFile` to allow the file being accessible from a filename so I can apply a `link` operation. Notice: The FieldStorage explicitly provides the `make_file` method to allow overriding in this sense. Does anybody feel like this would be a bad idea?
