[hunchentoot-devel] Why can't the python script get the post parameters from hunchentoot-cgi?

Hi,

hunchentoot-cgi is a package separate from Hunchentoot.  The canonical
location of it is https://github.com/slyrus/hunchentoot-cgi, so you
can either report the problem as an issue or, better yet, fix it and
send a pull request there.
