[Pywps-dev] Fetching of POST data

[Jorge Samuel Mendes de Jesus]

Hi Calin


>From the back of my head.... the MultiDict preservers the order of the
entreated data and this sometimes can be important, BUT Multidict allows
for 1 identifer to return multiple contents see this example:

>>> d = MultiDict([('a', 'b'), ('a', 'c')])
>>> d
MultiDict([('a', 'b'), ('a', 'c')])
>>> d['a']
'b'
>>> d.getlist('a')
['b', 'c']




You maybe have complexdata that may have the same identifier (it is dumb
but may happen) and therefore it needs to be stored

I am not so certain about the StringIO, normally we use it to stream
string and this can be handy when dealing with big XML
