unbuffered (by setting the class variable rbufsize to 0), because we
(may) need to pass the file descriptor to the subprocess running the
CGI script positioned after the headers.
(1) Fix reference to pwd.error to be KeyError -- there is no pwd.error
and pwd.getpwnam() raises KeyError on failure.
(2) Add cookie support, by placing the 'Cookie:' header, if present,
in the HTTP_COOKIE environment variable.
In CGIHTTPServer.py, the list of acceptable formats is -split-
on spaces but -joined- on commas, resulting in double commas
in the joined text. It appears harmless to my browser but
ought to be fixed anyway.
'A, B, C' -> 'A,', 'B,', 'C,' -> 'A,,B,,C'

I think I found a bug in CGIHTTPServer.py. (Does anyone care? :-)
I was trying to use it as the web server for uploading files.
Python CGI scripts (using the CGI module) that worked for other
servers (e.g., Netscape Enterprise server) hang when run from
CGIHTTPServer. The problem is that the content type parameters,
in particular the boundary parameter, were not passed through to
the CGI scripts, thus making the MIME parsing code choke.
My simple-minded fix is:
% diff CGIHTTPServer.py /usr/local/lib/python1.5/CGIHTTPServer.py
137,140c136
< if self.headers.typeheader is None:
< env['CONTENT_TYPE'] = self.headers.type
< else:
< env['CONTENT_TYPE'] = self.headers.typeheader
---
> env['CONTENT_TYPE'] = self.headers.type
