This is a known issue, and has been discussed in the newsgroup sometime
in the last couple of months.  If you search for "CGIHTTPServer IE
HTTP POST" and maybe throw my name in for good measure, you should be
able to dig it up.  

Summary: fixed in newer versions, and you can apply a simple patch to
your own copy if you wish.
