+# A class for wrapping the WWW Forms Common Gateway Interface (CGI)
+# Michael McLay, NIST mclay@eeel.nist.gov 6/14/94
+#
+# modified by Steve Majewski <sdm7g@Virginia.EDU> 12/5/94
+#
+
+# Several classes to parse the name/value pairs that are passed to
+# a server's CGI by GET, POST or PUT methods by a WWW FORM. This
+# module is based on Mike McLay's original cgi.py after discussing
+# changes with him and others on the comp.lang.python newsgroup, and
+# at the NIST Python workshop.
+#
+# The rationale for changes was:
+# The original FormContent class was almost, but not quite like
+# a dictionary object. Besides adding some extra access methods,
+# it had a values() method with different arguments and semantics
+# from the standard values() method of a mapping object. Also,
+# it provided several different access methods that may be necessary
+# or useful, but made it a little more confusing to figure out how
+# to use. Also, we wanted to make the most typical cases the simplest
+# and most convenient access methods. ( Most form fields just return
+# a single value, and in practice, a lot of code was just assuming
+# a single value and ignoring all others. On the other hand, the
+# protocol allows multiple values to be returned.
+#
+# The new base class (FormContentDict) is just like a dictionary.
+# In fact, if you just want a dictionary, all of the stuff that was
+# in __init__ has been extracted into a cgi.parse() function that will
+# return the "raw" dictionary, but having a class allows you to customize
+# it further.
+# Mike McLay's original FormContent class is reimplemented as a
+# subclass of FormContentDict.
+# There are two additional sub-classes, but I'm not yet too sure
+# whether they are what I want.
+#

+# IndexError if that expectation is not true.
+# IF you expect a field to have possible multiple values, than you
+# can use form.getlist( key ) to get all of the values.
