The pain is, that I can't change the 'content-Type' within my external server. What can I do with Zope that it accepts HTML-Requests with 'Content-Type

text/plain?

What is the _real_ content type (format) of your external server ?

Zope needs to know it in order to extract the data that is POSTed.

The _real_ content type is plain text! The paramenters come in the mime-body as name1=value name2=value

And how should Zope figure that out ;) Do you know any server that does enything reasonable with the encoding you posted ? To make Zope server believe that content-type text/plain means the encoding you described you can probably hack lib/python/ZPublisher/Client.py around lines 180-200 to accept extra encodings in addition to standard encodings multipart/form-data and application/x-www-form-urlencoded. I think you're right. This format seems to be used for e-mails (RFC2646). I'll try to add this mime-type to the decoding module. But it seems more to be in cgi.py because this module checks the content-type. Armin
