New submission from Daniel Klein <daniel.v.kl...@gmail.com>:
The documentation says "A form submitted via POST that also has a query string
will contain both FieldStorage and MiniFieldStorage items." suggesting that I
can have a query with bost a QUERY_STRING and POST parameters. The code backs
this up most of the time...
In read_urlencoded() the initial query string is read from STDIN, and
self.qs_on_post (i.e., env['QUERY_STRING']) is appended to that. This is what
is called when the CONTENT_TYPE of the POST request is
application/x-www-form-urlencoded. This leads to a FieldStorage object
containing a list of MiniFieldStorage objects, like:
FieldStorage(None, None, [MiniFieldStorage('action', 'rate'),
MiniFieldStorage('seq', '3'), MiniFieldStorage('version', '15')])
However, I am using a webhook interface from Google cloud, and it
(legitimately!) does a POST with a CONTENT_TYPE of application/json.
When I call cgi.Fieldstorage(), the __init__ routine ultimately calls
read_single(). This results in a FieldStorage object containing a single
string as
FieldStorage(None, None, '{"incident": {"incident_id":
"0.ktptjso969s0","res...the rest of the JSON')
This results in a few problems.
1) The QUERY_STRING args are not parsed as promised
2) The FeildStorage object does not contain a list, and so will raise
TypeError, "not indexable" if I try to use most of the other FieldStorage
methods.
