To further elaborate on the problems with POST on Windows 
95: without having reached any real understanding of the 
problem I have found a tolerable workaround. By modifying 
the default _rbufsize for class _fileobject in socket.py I 
can get any POSTs with text length less than _rbufsize to 
work. Here is the mod:
<pre>
class _fileobject:
 def __init__(self, sock, mode, bufsize):
 self._sock = sock
 self._mode = mode
 if bufsize < 0:
 bufsize = 512
 # SP 9 Aug 2001: default _rbufsize is too small, 
crashing CGIHTTPServer on POST's
 # This fix still only allows pages of less than 
given buffer size to be updated,
 # so the real fix has still to be discovered.
 #self._rbufsize = max(1, bufsize)
 self._rbufsize = max(16*1024, bufsize)
 self._wbufsize = bufsize
 self._wbuf = self._rbuf = ""
</pre>
