[mod_python] A cheap handler for exploring Apache req contents

[Sean True]

The following code is so inelegant, I'm a little embarrassed to share it, 
but it's a handy handler for starting
to poke around inside the Apache req structure, and so informative that I 
thought I'd share.

Grisha might want to comment as to why some of the attributes of the req 
don't dump the way I tried to dump them. Could just be the late night 
stupids on my part.

from mod_python import apache

def dumpdict(req,title, d):
     req.write("*"+title + "\n")
     for key in d.keys():
         req.write(str(key) + ": " + str(d[key]) + "\n")
def dump(req,title,s):
     req.write(title+": "+s+"\n")
def handler(req):
     req.send_http_header()
     dump(req,"Request", req.the_request)
