')

    #create a simple form:
    output.append('

FORM DATA
')
        output.append(pformat(environ['wsgi.input'].read()))

    # send results
    output_len = sum(len(line) for line in output)
    start_response('200 OK', [('Content-type', 'text/html'),
                              ('Content-Length', str(output_len))])
    return output
