CGI Empty Form problem (over https)

[Sam Penrose]

The FieldStorage object is not getting any data. It gets data from two
places: os.environ and sys.stdin. I would start by attempting to print
os.environ on both sides.

I'm having a problem with a cgi form in a cgi script.
Running over a secure connection (https:..), my CGI script
gets an empty cgi-form, ie

      FieldStorage(None, None, [])

whereas running the same script in a non-secure environment
works fine. Any ideas on what might be  happening (eg is there
something in the cgi module which requires special 'tweaking'
to run over SSL)??...
