[mod_python] long argument string is being truncated

Graham, 

Unfortunately I am using a program (in PowerBuilder) to create this data, not a form.  But I 
assume from your reply that there is no way to get the full string from the URL, so I will have 
to generate a POST.

Could you point me toward a mod_python example of processing a POST?   

Thanks, 

Joe Landau
