You can use the attached module and use the request function to get a 
dict with the values from the windows Request object:

#    from iisUtils import request
#    req = request(Request) # pass the iis Request object as parameter
#
#    # getting simple value
#    value = req['value']
#    Response.Write('%s<br>' % value)
#
#    # getting list of values (values with same name makes a list)
#    values = req['values]
#    for value in values:
#        Response.Write('%s<br>' % value)
#
#    # Checking for checkbox value
#    # (checkboxes only gets passed if they are checked)
#    checkValue = req.has_key('checkValue')
#    if checkValue:
#        "Do stuff"
#
#    # Getting value with default value if non-existing key.
#    checkValue = int(req.get('checkValue', 'unchecked'))
#    if checkValue == 'checked':


There is also a winFieldStorage function that makes it possible to use 
the FieldStorage object from the standard cgi module. This makes it easy 
to do file uploads.
