In vim, in NORMAL mode you can move the cursor over the character and
use the command ga to query the character under the cursor.

Here, I get:
<^@> 0, Hex 00, Octal 000
, which says that it's a nul terminator.

You might have missed some part of the multipart POST spec, or some
translation that FastCGI does for you.
