Hi Eric,

Regarding arguments/body parsing, I've also found form-input module to
be pretty instructive, but due to the way my module work, it isn't
enough for me (ie: I need to parse every argument and validate them, not
fetch a specific one). Parsing "application/x-www.." posts can be done
the same way as parsing GET arguments, and I'm already handling that.
I'm actually working on parsing "multipart/form-data" posts, and -if
you're interested- I can forward the code to you as soon as it's
working.

If you already have this part working I'm interested in it too ;)
