The POST or GET method should be invisible to the application
when using the cgi module of Python. For further debugging you should take a
look at the CGI environment (os.environ dictionary) for both methods. The
arguments for GET method are passed in the QUERY_STRING variable and through
stdin for the POST method. Maybe your web server is doing dothing stupid.

Hope this helps,
