Using CGI with POST

Hello,

I just knocked up a simple cgi script. It works fine if I
use the GET method on the form. However, if I try and POST
it, the script just hangs until it times out.

Is there any special magic to make this work?

The script does:

form = cgi.FieldStorage()
     form_ok = 0
     if form.has_key("name"):
         if form["name"].value != "":
             form_ok = 1
...

but it hangs on the call to cgi.FieldStorage()

Thanks.
