[Python-Dev] patch CGIHTTPServer.py for IE POST bug

[Kevin Altis]

Steve Holden submitted a patch for the IE POST bug in December, which I
thought had made it into 2.3a1, but apparently not. I've been using this
select code to throw away extra bytes from IE POSTs on my Win2K box for
about four months and haven't noticed any problems using MoinMoin on my
local box as well as some test POST scripts. However, Steve says he is busy
with PyCon and this patch, though small, probably needs review before a
commit.
