Hi Andreas,

This a single REQUEST is either a POST or GET request there is no need for this separation IMO. Everything's in the REQUEST.
That's not entirely true. Sadly there is a design flaw in cgi.py which ignores GET variables still present when doing POST.
The whole lib is a bit ugly so its not easy to fix it. And its even worser to fix if you want to achieve compatibility with current implementations.
Should variables be merget? Get variables before POST or vice versa?
big hmmmmmmm :-) I don't have the CGI specs under my pillow and I am too lazy to read them but POST usually transmits the data in the body and GET in the QUERY strings. I have never (and needed) a usecase where both were mixed (if allowed). -aj
