Hello, I needed to do the same recently to test my scripts that do GET
and POST to a web site.
Found how to get at the posted data within CGIHTTPServer.py
particularly the run_cgi method of the CGIHTTPRequestHandler class.
At first I just ran an instance of the CGIHTTPServer and had a few CGI
scripts until I read the code for the run_cgi method above.
Now my test script runs an HTTP server in a daemon thread using my
subclass of the CGIHTTPRequestHandler then the main thread then runs
my GET and POST code.
