* 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. ** *
This entity is designed to be used in conjunction with the * {@link org.apache.http.HttpRequest} to provide * multipart posts. Example usage:
*
* File f = new File("/path/fileToUpload.txt");
* HttpRequest request = new HttpRequest("http://host/some_path");
* Part[] parts = {
* new StringPart("param_name", "value"),
* new FilePart(f.getName(), f)
* };
* filePost.setEntity(
* new MultipartRequestEntity(parts, filePost.getParams())
* );
* HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
* int status = client.executeMethod(filePost);
*
*
* @since 3.0
*
* @deprecated Please use {@link java.net.URLConnection} and friends instead.
* The Apache HTTP client is no longer maintained and may be removed in a future
* release. Please visit this webpage
* for further details.
