All Implemented Interfaces:

HttpMethod

public class MultipartPostMethod
extends ExpectContinueMethod

Deprecated.

Use MultipartRequestEntity in conjunction with PostMethod instead.

Implements the HTTP multipart POST method.

The HTTP multipart POST method is defined in section 3.3 of RFC1867:

The media-type multipart/form-data follows the rules of all multipart MIME data streams as outlined in RFC 1521. The multipart/form-data contains a series of parts. Each part is expected to contain a content-disposition header where the value is "form-data" and a name attribute specifies the field name within the form, e.g., 'content-disposition: form-data; name="xxxxx"', where xxxxx is the field name corresponding to that field. Field names originally in non-ASCII character sets may be encoded using the method outlined in RFC 1522.

Since:

2.0
