I'm converting a Python2.6 app into a Python3 app and I'm getting stuck with the server. I've managed to get it serving up GET requests just fine but POST continues to elude me. Here is what I started with in 2.6 that worked but in 3.x the normal server does not handle POST requests. From my reading of the Python manual it appears that I must use a CGI server class instead and also map the scripts to that directory. I'd rather not have to do this but I cannot find another way. Am I missing something?
def do_POST(self):
ctype, pdict = cgi.parse_header(self.headers.get('content-type'))
if ctype == 'multipart/form-data':
query = cgi.parse_multipart(self.rfile, pdict)
self.send_response(301)
self.end_headers()
upfilecontent = query.get('upfile')
print("filecontent", upfilecontent[0])
self.wfile.write("<HTML>POST OK.<BR><BR>");
self.wfile.write(upfilecontent[0]);

After poking and a few more hours of googling I've found the following works.
def do_POST(self):
length = int(self.headers['Content-Length'])
post_data = urllib.parse.parse_qs(self.rfile.read(length).decode('utf-8'))
# You now have a dictionary of the post data
self.wfile.write("Lorem Ipsum".encode("utf-8"))
I'm surprised at how easy this was.
