[mod_python] Mod python sys.stdin

Don't use publisher if you want to read the request (e.g. from a POST)
directly. Publisher will have eaten the whole request before calling your
function.

Use a standard "handler", e.g. this (untested) one lets anyone POST a file
to the system in a cetain path, and report back how large it was and where
it was placed:

BUFSIZE=10240
SOMEBASEPATH = '/usr/local/uploads'

def handler(req):
    req.content_type = 'text/plain'
    destfilename = SOMEBASEPATH + req.path_info
    req.write('Writing: %s\n' % destfilename)
    dstfile = open(destfilename, 'wb')
    srcfile = req
    data = srcfile.read(BUFSIZE)
    c = 0
    while data:
        dstfile.write(data)
        c += len(data)
        data = srcfile.read(BUFSIZE)
    req.write('Wrote: %s bytes\n' % c)
    return apache.OK

How do I get at sys.stdin with mod_python publisher. I know it's probably
something simple but I'm trying to convert an xml parser that was getting
though a cgi on sys.stdin and it keeps returning that there is no data to
parse.

Thanks
Kevin
