As stated in the documentation, the effect of this option is to "force the binary layer of the stdin, stdout and stderr streams (which is available as their buffer attribute) to be unbuffered. The text I/O layer will still be line-buffered.". On my PC (Windows XP) this is required to be able to read all the data stream ; otherwise, only the beginning is read. I tried Glenn's suggestion with mscvrt, with no effect

Thats a quite annoying response. whats the purposes of a "option" switch

I would prefer a way to programmatically allow FieldStorage to use
HTTP_TRANSFER_ENCODING
if available, to select a matching encoding...
