Thank You!!!

Every <stupid> example I've seen used "request.content.getvalue()" ...which
fails miserably for me (possibly because I'm on 64bit windows - but cStringIO is
available, so I'm not sure why it's not used).  request.content.read() works
wonderfully.  The "getvalue" method looked familiar, but I couldn't recall where
I'd seen it - only that *my* request.content doesn't have a getvalue method.  It
took quite a few searches before I stumbled on your comment here which gave me
the correct solution.
