[Tutor] Handling post request

[Tiago Katcipis]

actualy i have found what i wanted on the rfile attribute, i already tried
before to read it but the application just freezes when i try to read() or
readline() on it. But after i make the request, and both client and server
sides freezes, if i kill the client side the server becomes able of reading
the rfile.

Does anyone know why i just cant read the rfile without killing the client
side? it feels like the client side is waiting for something while the
server is unable to read the rfile while the client side is waiting.
