Summary: cgi.py invalid REQUEST_METHOD set

Initial Comment:
Python Version 2.4
OS Windows XP SP 2 + WindowsUpdates
Patch for lastest CVS Tree

When the environment does not have a correctly set 
REQUEST_METHOD cgi.py prompts
for key=value pairs by reading from sys.stdin.  After the 
values are read from sys.stdin they are never stored in 
the FieldStorage.list attribute like they are
when the FieldStorage.read_urlencoded or 
FieldStorage.read_multi methods are called.

This causes a problem when FieldStorage.keys() is 
called because although the values were read from 
sys.stdin they were never stored in FieldStorage.list.

Although you could argue that REQUEST_METHOD 
should have been set correctly in the first place, it still 
seems like if cgi.py is going to handle that situation by
actually reading the values from sys.stdin it should 
store them too.

This fix stores the values read.
