I thought you were doing file uploads, in which case your
request body
is almost certainly going to be multipart/form-data. Here's
a sample
request for such:

POST /upload HTTP/1.1

Content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=x
Content-Length: 116

--x
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file";
filename="hello.txt"
Content-Type: text/plain

Hello, world!
--x--

In the real world, browsers choose a boundary much longer
than 'x', but
you get the idea. Again, I recommend you dig the cgi module
to
reverse-engineer this. My bet is that the FieldStorage
module provides
a hook for you to do this already (like make_file()?).
