[issue1235] CGIHTTPRequestHandler.run_cgi() does not run on Windows if sys.executable contains blanks

Derk Drukker <derk.drukker [at] gmail> added the comment:
orsenthil: I reverted the changes that make Windows and Unix use the
same code in Patch Set 3, and briefly mentioned the reason for that in
the Rietveld app. I should have mentioned it here too.
It was because it actually makes the implementation on Unix worse, since
the Windows implementation reads all data in memory. (The subprocess
module documentation has this note: "The data read is buffered in
memory, so do not use this method if the data size is large or unlimited.")
I tried replacing subprocess.PIPE with rfile/wfile, but it turns out
that that won't work, because on Windows socket.fileno() cannot be used
where file descriptors can be used, as the socket module documentation
states.
