Could be. As Chris Liechti suggested, I have verified that the problem only 
happens with the POST method. If I use GET with the exact same forms, 
everything works great with all browsers. He also confirms that the POST 
versions run normally under his version of Opera, so the issue seems to be 
only with POST _and_ Netscape/MSIE. I'll need to look into the POST handler 
of CGIHTTPServer .py and see if I can understand what's going on there :)
