[mod_python] ValueError with Flash 8 FileReference.upload(url)

Definitely missing the required blank line after the content disposition line in
the second group.

'------------ae0gL6ae0cH2KM7ae0cH2Ij5ei4ei4\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name="Filename"\r\n\r\nsample.txt\r\n------------ae0gL6ae0cH2KM7ae0cH2Ij5ei4ei4\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name="Filedata"; filename="sample.txt"\r\nContent-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n\r\nStart of Sample Text File Contents\r\nEnd of Sample Text File Contents\r\n\r\n------------ae0gL6ae0cH2KM7ae0cH2Ij5ei4ei4\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name="Upload"\r\nSubmit Query\r\n------------ae0gL6ae0cH2KM7ae0cH2Ij5ei4ei4'

I can't find a simple reference right now to refer to which says it is required,
but relevant RFCs are:

  http://rfc.sunsite.dk/rfc/rfc1521.html
  http://rfc.sunsite.dk/rfc/rfc1522.html
  http://rfc.sunsite.dk/rfc/rfc1867.html

Just to see if it works, add a blank line at the beginning of your data in
the second section before it gets packaged into the post.
