It is quite easy.  There is no mention of which language he wants to do
this in, but regardless, just do something like this:

1. Make sure you have a POST method (check REQUEST_METHOD) 

2. Make sure your mime type is either application/x-www-form-urlencoded or
   multipart/form-data (check CONTENT_TYPE)

3. If your mime type was multipart/form-data you have a file upload on
   your hands and you need to parse the mime headers.

4. Now just read from stdin.  You can get the number of bytes you need to
   read by checking CONTENT_LENGTH
