Thanks for coming back to my question. In the meantime I have verified
that $c->get_request() does it right. I append a testscript for that;
hope you like it.

What I had problems to get to work was the $c->get_request(1) + "do
the parsing yourself" variant. It would be a great help if there were
a sample implementation (maybe it would fit into my testscript?) that
is more or less bullet proof.
