RFC 2388                  multipart/form-data                August 1998


Appendix A. Media type registration for multipart/form-data

   Media Type name:
     multipart

   Media subtype name:
     form-data

   Required parameters:
     none

   Optional parameters:
     none

   Encoding considerations:
     No additional considerations other than as for other multipart
     types.

   Security Considerations
     Applications which receive forms and process them must be careful
     not to supply data back to the requesting form processing site that
     was not intended to be sent by the recipient. This is a
     consideration for any application that generates a multipart/form-
     data.

     The multipart/form-data type introduces no new security
     considerations for recipients beyond what might occur with any of
     the enclosed parts.
