title: Python cgi.fieldstorage ignoring values after semicolon
body: <p>I am sending a string through cgi.fieldstorage in python.
  It isn't accepting the characters after the ';'</p>
  
  <p>I am sending a string </p>
  
  <pre><code>str = "Hello; World"
  
  It only accepts "Hello" and ignores the " World"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>tried cgi.escape(str) and re.escape(str)</p>
  
  <p>Any idea on how to escape the semicolon?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
