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

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