mg_get_var Parsing Problem

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Problem Description:
mg_get_var expects an ampersand at the end of each var=val pair, which is not 
the case for the last variable in a form, at least with the current 
implementation of POST forms and mg_read. I've worked around the problem by 
manually appending an ampersand at the end of my post_buffer (that I passed 
into mg_read).

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Serve up a POST action form.
2. mg_read the POST data back out on form submit.
3. mg_get_var the last variable returns -1 and an empty value string, despite 
the POST buffer clearly containing the variable and its value.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I should see mg_get_var return the variable value. Instead, I get a -1 return 
code and an empty value string.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
3.1, Linux

Please provide any additional information below.

I've added a unit test for mg_get_var, in the situation you've described 
mongoose works as intended.
If you have more details , please let me know.
