Request parameter matcher, POST and enctype="multipart/form-data"

Hi all

I was trying to get the file upload in Lenya resurrected and stumbled
across the following problem:

The RequestParameterMatcher doesn't seem to match the request
parameters if they come with a multipart/form-data post request.

Is there a way to make the RequestParameterMatcher match these request
parameters?

Attached is a minimal test case

Thanks Vadim, that was indeed the problem. It works now.

Enable-uploads required to enable parsing of multipart/form-data 
requests. If uploads are not enabled, parser is not used, and parameters 
won't be available (CocoonServlet, line 989). Once they are enabled, it 
should work (unless there is a bug...)

Thanks Vadim, but the RequestParameterMatcher returns no request
parameters (<h:requestParameters/>) even with enable-uploads set to
true.

If you look at my minimal example I'm not even trying to upload a file
(for now). All I'm trying to do is to have the RequestParameterMatcher
match parameters that are passed in a POST with multipart/form-data
encoding.

Try enabling uploads first (see web.xml)
