Are you sure? I tried to close self.wfile and self.rfile but an
exception was thrown because some lower class (SocketServer? Can't
remember) tried to flush the output file.

Well, now I found a solution to my problem (see also thread "derived
from CGIHTTPServer.py"). I messed around with directly using sys.stdin.
After cleaning up my code and using self.rfile and self.wfile directly
it works for HTTP-GET. But HTTP-POST still hangs...

Ciao, Michael.
