I wouldn't! WSGI should not touch the HTTP request input stream, and 
definitely should not attempt to parse a form submission to get fields 
and file uploads out of it.

That's the job of the framework (or other form-reading package not 
necessarily part of a complete framework). There are multiple existing 
form-reading implementations with different ways of working.
