[jira] [Commented] (WW-4818) Default Multipart validation regex is invalid

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-4818?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16108304#comment-16108304 ]

---------------------------------------

As a general FYI: You don't absolutely have to escape hyphens within character classes; you just need to put them at the start of the class.

> 2.5.12 introduced a regex matches for multipart requests.  The default regex used, however is significantly too strict based on the RFC, as well as common practice.  Specifically, at minimum, it needs to include the *hyphen* and more likely needs to support all of the fields defined by the RFC (https://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc1341/7_2_Multipart.html).

> In basic testing, we've seen:
> {code} Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=BRKIypZ3Stvuclu7C-CTbP2fNljGAOVk[\r][\n]{code} (generated by the Apache HttpClient)
