Re: pyblosxom and thttpd (bug 1252678)

Never mind...  I figured out what the problem was and fixed the code.

We shouldn't be reading stdin on GET requests.  I added a check to make 
sure to read stdin only when the request isn't GET and that fixed the 
issue.

I feel kind of silly--I should have thought of that initially.
