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

[Hans Hübner]

Oops, the content-length of request bodies is certainly not variable
when it is completely read by the web server, which would be the case
for most CGI requests.  So please disregard my previous comment.

If you want to move this further, you'll need to either discuss with
Cyrus Harmon (hunchentoot-cgi's author) or try to fix the problem
yourself.  Please post observations you make about hunchentoot-cgi to
the github issue that you have created, not this list.

Thank you.
Hans
