# NOTE: the above "/usr/local/bin/python" is NOT a mistake.  It is
# intentionally NOT "/usr/bin/env python".  On many systems
# (e.g. Solaris), /usr/local/bin is not in $PATH as passed to CGI
# scripts, and /usr/local/bin is the default directory where Python is
# installed, so /usr/bin/env would be unable to find python.  Granted,
# binary installations by Linux vendors often install Python in
# /usr/bin.  So let those vendors patch cgi.py to match their choice
# of installation.

# -------
#
# Michael McLay started this module.  Steve Majewski changed the
# interface to SvFormContentDict and FormContentDict.  The multipart
# parsing was inspired by code submitted by Andreas Paepcke.  Guido van
# Rossum rewrote, reformatted and documented the module and is currently
# responsible for its maintenance.

    This class provides naming, typing, files stored on disk, and

    keys are the field names.  (Note: None can occur as a field name.)
    The items are either a Python list (if there's multiple values) or
    another FieldStorage or MiniFieldStorage object.  If it's a single
    object, it has the following attributes:

    name: the field name, if specified; otherwise None

    filename: the filename, if specified; otherwise None; this is the
        client side filename, *not* the file name on which it is
        stored (that's a temporary file you don't deal with)

    value: the value as a *string*; for file uploads, this
        transparently reads the file every time you request the value

    file: the file(-like) object from which you can read the data;
        None if the data is stored a simple string

    type: the content-type, or None if not specified

    type_options: dictionary of options specified on the content-type
        line

    disposition: content-disposition, or None if not specified

    disposition_options: dictionary of corresponding options

    headers: a dictionary(-like) object (sometimes rfc822.Message or a
        subclass thereof) containing *all* headers

    The class is subclassable, mostly for the purpose of overriding
    the make_file() method, which is called internally to come up with
    a file open for reading and writing.  This makes it possible to
    override the default choice of storing all files in a temporary
    directory and unlinking them as soon as they have been opened.
