3 problems using CGI in Euphoria

Hi everyone. I encountered a few problems when using CGI. Can someone kindly
help?

Environment: Windows Server 2003, IIS6

1. exwc.exe keeps running after submiting a form until CGI Timeout. But when
compiled to exe it works as expected.

2. I found the postdata() in LibCGI v1.5 doesn't work correctly, to be specific
the "HEREHEREHEREHERE" part.

global function post_data()
  object in
  sequence buf  buf = {}
  while 1 do
    in = gets(0) --HEREHEREHEREHERE
    if equal(in, -1) then
      return buf
    else
      if in[length(in)] = '\n' then  -- strip \n
        in = in[1..length(in)-1]
      end if
      buf &= in
    end if
  end while
end function

And I change it according to the CGI Support Routines by Aku

global function post_data()
  object lenq
  lenq = getenv("CONTENT_LENGTH")
  if atom(lenq) or length(lenq) < 1 then
  return ""
  else
  return get_bytes(0, val(lenq))
  end if
end function

And it works. So why get_bytes() not gets()? 

3. I can't read data from a form enctype="multipart/form-data", neither
get_bytes() nor gets(). The LibCGI v1.5 routine doesn't work, and Aku's library
contains no routine for that.

Thanks in advance.
