parameters when processing a posted form containing a single parameter.
Estimated hours taken: 1
Fix a few problems in the Mercury cgi library.
extras/cgi/cgi.m:
Add cgi__maybe_get_form which processes forms
if they are called using POST, otherwise it will return "no".
This allows the form to handle the error itself, perhaps
by giving the input form.
Also fix a bug in printing the error message -- the
content type must be set even for error messages.
