Hi there! I'm just reporting this situation in case it's a bug, I'm not 
sure.

I have a public webpage (no login required), and from time to time I see 
this error: 
ValueError: Invalid boundary in multipart form: ''

The error is produced by a bot that sends a bad POST to an URL that doesn't 
even expect a POST (it's just a public URL that shows a list of news, and 
it is cached). 
But as my application access request.vars, when the bot sends that POST, I 
see this error traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/var/www/medios/gluon/restricted.py", line 219, in restricted
    exec(ccode, environment)
  File "applications/informatesalta/compiled/controllers.default.index.py",

    for key, value in iteritems(self.post_vars):
  File "/var/www/medios/gluon/globals.py", line 306, in post_vars
    self.parse_post_vars()
  File "/var/www/medios/gluon/globals.py", line 242, in parse_post_vars
    dpost = cgi.FieldStorage(fp=body, environ=env, keep_blank_values=1)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/cgi.py", line 507, in __init__
    self.read_multi(environ, keep_blank_values, strict_parsing)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/cgi.py", line 621, in read_multi
    raise ValueError, 'Invalid boundary in multipart form: %r' % (ib,)
ValueError: Invalid boundary in multipart form: ''



Notice the error is triggered in gluon/globals.py, specifically in 
"parse_all_vars" function.
What can I do in order to avoid the ticket error?

Thanks in advance!
