Who knows?  Do a bit more digging and look at the code...  Line 300 of
HTTPServer.py is self.data.write(data) .  The 'data' attribute is
assigned to around line 190 in the same file, but only if a non-zero
Content-Length header is found a few lines before.  So, log the value
of request.header, and see what's wrong.  Is there a Content-Length
header?  Does it have a value of 0?  Does the CONTENT_LENGTH regular
expression miss it?  (It might; the pattern seems too fragile,
breaking if there's unexpected whitespace, as in
'Content-Length:<space><space>123'.)
