How to handle file uploads with http.server

[Neil Blue]

Hello,

I have a basic http.server instance running (class
HTTPHandler(http.server.BaseHTTPRequestHandler), with python 3.1, and I
would like to upload files with multipart forms.

def do_POST(self):
ctype, pdict = cgi.parse_header(self.headers['Content-Type'])
if ctype=='multipart/form-data':
print('parsing...')
query=cgi.parse_multipart(self.rfile, pdict)
print(query)

However the file never seems to finish being parsed. There are no errors,
but the call hangs at: query=cgi.parse_multipart(self.rfile, pdict)

Please can anyone offer some insight into this or somewhere else I may find
some more information.

Thanks
Neil
