A few points ;-)

1. This question is better directed to zope@zope.org

2. You should be manipulating the response, not the request.

3. If you want to write to the response body, then I think you want:

response.write(...)

...but be very careful that your total content length matches what you set in 
Content-Length...

cheers,

Chris
