Parse http GET and POST parameters from BaseHTTPHandler?

Question

BaseHTTPHandler from the BaseHTTPServer module doesn\'t seem to provide any convenient way to access http request parameters. What is the best way to parse the GET paramete

Answer 1

Better solution to an old question:

def do_POST(self):
    length = int(self.headers.getheader('content-length'))
    field_data = self.rfile.read(length)
    fields = urlparse.parse_qs(field_data)

This will pull urlencoded POST data from the document content and parse it a dict with proper urldecoding
