[mod_python] [help]please give an input filter example ?

I've looked at the input filter code, and I think that what's in 3.0.3 is
broken. If you get the latest CVS version, your input filter code would
look somethng like:

def inputfilter(filter):

	s = filter.read()

	if s:
		## do something with s here

		filter.write(s)
	else:
		filter.close()

	return apache.OK

Note that the filter will only see the body of the POST request, it will
not see the headers, in fact it won't even be called for GET requests.
