public class MultipartPostRequest

extends Request

A POST request that handles "multipart/form-data" requests. This class was implemented with RFC 2045 and RFC 2046 in mind.

Typically, this type of request is sent when using an "upload file" page. In order to allow file upload, two things must be present in an HTML form:

1. first, there must be an <input type="file"> in the form; and
2. secondly, the form must have a enctype="multipart/form-data" attribute.

This class supports the special encoding that must occur on the client side in order to properly transmit the form data.
