cgi.py and IE 4.01 Content-type headers

[sdyer7073 at my-deja.com]

I am running into the occaisional problem with IE 4.01 sending a
content-type header of the form where the content-type is repeated
seperated by commas:

application/x-www-form-urlencoded, application/x-www-form-urlencoded

instead of the more usual:

application/x-www-form-urlencoded

The cgi module chokes on this. It happens about 0.5% of the time, but I
eventually need to address the problem. Is this allowable in the HTTP
specs, or is it simply garbage generated by IE? Since IE 4.01 seems to
be the browser shipped with Win98, the cgi module may need to address
this eventually...
