Requires field name of a part to be a quoted string - goes against HTTP specification

           Summary: Requires field name of a part to be a quoted string -
                    goes against HTTP specification
           Product: Commons
           Version: 1.0 Final
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Blocker
          Priority: Other
         Component: File Upload
        AssignedTo: commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: anthony.bull@bcsoft.co.nz


The FileUpload library requires that the field name from the Content-
Disposition header be a quoted string.  E.g.

Content-Disposition: form-data; name="my_message"

The HTTP specification states that quoted strings are only required in this 
field when certain special characters appear in the string.  

This causes the parsing of requests from any clients that don't quote these 
name fields to not work - the FileUpload library says that it can't find any 
file items in the request, and the message cannot be dealt with.
