Summary: cgi module. FieldStorage class returns keys blank fields.
Details: In module cgi.py
The FieldStorage class returns keys for blank values even though the
keep_blank_values property is set to 0
The problem lies in the parse_qsl method.
The second last line of the function
r.append((name, value))
should read
if (len(value) or keep_blank_values):
r.append((name, value))
I hope this can be corrected.
Thanks

Comment:
I don't see why this is necessary. The r.append()
call is inside an if block whose condition is
'if len(nv[1]) or keep_blank_values'. nv[1] then has + replaced with space
characters and is run through
urllib.unquote(). I'm unable to see how a non-empty string could result in
an empty string after urllib.unquote, and in fact
cgi.parse_qsl('abc=&foo=bar') returns [('foo', 'bar')]. Can you provide a
test case?
If a test case demonstrating the problem doesn't appear, this bug should be
marked as 'Not a bug' and cgi.py left alone.

Assigned to Andrew since he knows more about CGI stuff than I ever expect
to.
