Re: [wsrp-interop] MIME attributes

[David Ward <david.ward@oracle.com>]

Title:

For non-URL encoded POST requests to a portlet action, we forward all
the mime headers as attributes and the entire POST body as the data.
That way, e.g. the JSR 168 portlet can parse the multipart form message
from its input stream. It's the only way we can support the behaviour
required by the JSR 168 interfaces anyway.

I'd say "content-disposition" with value "..." etc but forwarding such attributes is optional, and they may well be substituted with logical name/value pairs derived from the mime info. For example, we previously discussed a "filename" attribute that models the resource name on the client as a common use case. At least, that's all I forward now.

Subject: [wsrp-interop] MIME attributes

What's the interpretation of mimeAttributes in UploadContext?

Taking an example HTTP request body from RFC1867, the first part has a
form param and the second has a file.

----------------------------------------------------
Content-type: multipart/form-data, boundary=AaB03x

--AaB03x
content-disposition: form-data; name="field1"

Joe Blow
--AaB03x
content-disposition: form-data; name="pics"; filename="file1.txt"
Content-Type: text/plain

... contents of file1.txt ...
--AaB03x--
-----------------------------------------------------

In this example, what are mimeAttributes? The header fields (eg
"content-disposition" with value "..."), or the name-value pairs that
may be present in a header?
