title: How to extract HTTP message body in BaseHTTPRequestHandler.do_POST()?
body: <p>In the <code>do_POST()</code> method of <code>BaseHTTPRequestHandler</code> I can access the headers of the POST request simply via the property <code>self.headers</code>. But I can't find a similar property for accessing the body of the message. How do I then go about doing that?</p>
