Dear Walter,

I want to extend my router's web configuration interface, so it would be
natural to use form based upload and not open a second data transmission
channel. As you wrote, there is an RFC for form-based upload, and MIME
multiparts are known much longer than that anyway. So this should nort
be regarded a misuse, it is a standard.
