Issue678557

While Jython works well in a CGI script normally, it
breaks when handed a POST method using
multipart/form-data to submit the values of the fields
of the form.  Examining the value of the
cgi.FieldStorage instance after it's created, we find
that all the fields are there, but they all have "None"
as their value.

This is using Jython 2.1, Python 2.1, and Java 1.2 on a
Solaris 2.6 platform, and the Apache web server.

parsing of a file upload using a POST with
multipart/form-data works. All other fields get dropped.

The problem here is the different filehandling systems from
C and Java:
The method "make_file" of the class FieldStorage (used for
multipart cgi-data) creates a temp-file with the desired
functionality on cpython. On Jython this seems not to work
correctly.

My proposal is to use cStringIO instead:

def make_file(self, binary=None):
    import cStringIO
    return cStringIO.StringIO()

Here the complete Multipartdata is stored in memory instead
of /tmp/. In my opinion this is more elegant since
main-memory is not a big issue.

make_file uses tempfile.TemporaryFile("w+b"), which works on trunk. I 
believe it even works on the 2.2 release also. closing out
