brain cramp: emulating cgi.FieldStorage

[Chris Curvey]

I can't be the first person to want to do this, but I also can't seem
to find a solution.  (Perhaps my Google skills are poor today.)  How
can I emulate cgi.FieldStorage() for my unit tests so that I don't have
to put a web server in the way?

what I'd like to do is something like

fs = cgi.FieldStorage()
fs["foo"] = "bar"
functionToBeTested(fs)

Any hints/leads/suggestions?
