[issue4953] cgi module cannot handle POST with multipart/form-data in 3.0

[Timothy Farrell]

Timothy Farrell <tfarrell at swgen.com> added the comment:

I've attached unittest.zip.  Simply unzip it to a directory and run it.
 I've included a Python2.x version of the unittest for the sake of
clarity.  The 2.x version was developed on 2.4.  The 3.x version was
developed on 3.0.1 and 3.1rc1 (with identical results).

It seems that there are several issues with cgi.FieldStorage and
multi-part form data.

- Does Formstation read in a Bytes or String?
-- It seems to expect a String but this yields invalid results for
uploading files.
-- A stream of Bytes would make more sense but loses it Pythonic
"Batteries included" nature if the user has to decode the encoding
manually for each form field.
