Summary: cgi module should handle large post attack
Initial Comment:
Currently, the FieldStorage class will try to read in all
the client's input to the cgi script. This may result in
deny of service attack if the client tries to post huge
amount of data. I wonder if FieldStorage could take a
parameter limiting the max post size just like the
$CGI::POST_MAX in Perl CGI.pm module.
