"""Support module for CGI (Common Gateway Interface) scripts.
This module defines a number of utilities for use by CGI scripts

# XXX Perhaps there should be a slimmed version that doesn't contain
# all those backwards compatible and debugging classes and functions?
# History
# -------
#
# 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.

Even though this function is called initlog(), you should always
use log(); log is a variable that is set either to initlog
(initially), to dolog (once the log file has been opened), or to
nolog (when logging is disabled).
The first argument is a format string; the remaining arguments (if
any) are arguments to the % operator, so e.g.
log("%s: %s", "a", "b")
will write "a: b" to the log file, followed by a newline.
If the global logfp is not None, it should be a file object to
which log data is written.
If the global logfp is None, the global logfile may be a string
giving a filename to open, in append mode. This file should be
world writable!!! If the file can't be opened, logging is
silently disabled (since there is no safe place where we could
send an error message).

This class provides naming, typing, files stored on disk, and
more. At the top level, it is accessible like a dictionary, whose
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.

This version opens a temporary file for reading and writing,

that the file can still be used, but it can't be opened by
another process, and it will automatically be deleted when it
is closed or when the current process terminates.
If you want a more permanent file, you derive a class which
overrides this method. If you want a visible temporary file
that is nevertheless automatically deleted when the script
terminates, try defining a __del__ method in a derived class
