[PROPOSAL] Decoding multpart mime HTTP POST API

Decoding HTTP POST multipart mime data is a common task needed for
file uploads.  There may already exist within Jakarta code for doing
this.  This seems like a 'common' API which many Jakarta projects could
use.

Thoughts?

Regards,

Glenn

+1.

I wrote a simple one that's in the Town project library.  Town was on
working-dogs.com, where ECS and other apache projects were and it has an
Apache license.  The code is now at
http://share.whichever.com/index.php?SCREEN=town.  The class is
com.workingdogs.town.tagext.MultipartRequest and MimePart.  Please feel free
to do whatever with it.

+1

A nice API agnostic way to parse MultipartStream would be great!

Turbine has this code in it...

jakarta-turbine-fulcrum/src/services/java/org/apache/fulcrum/upload

You want the MultipartStream.java class and there are other files in there
that help out with file upload as well.

I would be +1 to factoring that out into Commons and then having Turbine
depend on that commons code.

There's some code for this in Struts, but it is somewhat Struts-specific.
However, I face myself needing exactly the same thing (upload decoding) in
implementing Tomcat's support for remote deployment of webapps, so I'd be
willing to help on this.

If we're willing to be specific to Servlet 2.3, this would be a pretty
nice application of a filter (your next message :-).
