Review Comment:
   Deduplicating this was the right call, and `RequestViewHTTP` got better for 
it. Two things follow from it now being public.
   
   It dereferences `contentType` with no null check, which was safe while it 
was private and reached only through an `isMultipart` guard. As published API 
it is worth a guard or an `@throws`.
   
   `RequestViewHTTP` now depends on `CurlCommandFormatter` to parse a MIME 
header, which is a strange direction — nothing about a boundary is 
curl-specific. `MultipartUrlConfig` is the only consumer of the result in both 
call sites and would be a more natural home.

Review Comment:
   The original interleaving of fields and files is still lost — all 
`--form-string` parts are emitted, then all `-F` parts, whatever order the body 
had. Carrying it over from the resolved thread since the content-type half was 
fixed and this half was not.
   
   Rarely load-bearing, and the two-loop shape is a consequence of 
`MultipartUrlConfig` keeping arguments and files in separate collections, so 
"won't fix, it is documented" is a fine answer — just not silence.

Review Comment:
   **A file part with no `Content-Type` discards the whole multipart rendering, 
fields and all.**
   
   `MultipartUrlConfig#162` passes the part's content type straight into 
`files.addHTTPFileArg(path, name, contentType)`, and `HTTPFileArg#82` rejects a 
null mime type with `IllegalArgumentException("Parameters must not be null")`. 
A file part that carries no `Content-Type` header therefore throws mid-parse, 
this catch swallows it, and everything already parsed — every plain text field 
in the body — is dropped along with it. Observed on this branch:
   
   ```
   body: --xyz
         Content-Disposition: form-data; name="upload"; filename="report.pdf"
   
         <actual file content, not shown here>
         --xyz--
   
   curl -X 'POST' \
     'http://example.com/upload' \
     -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=xyz'
   # Request body cannot be reproduced: …
   ```
   
   The file name and every field were recoverable; the note claims otherwise. 
Defaulting the mime type to `""` before constructing the arg is enough, and 
narrowing the catch would stop the next such case hiding the same way — a 
blanket `RuntimeException` around a parser is what turned this into a silent 
degradation rather than a visible one.
   
   Not this PR's bug, but adjacent and worth knowing: `RequestViewHTTP#219` 
runs the same `parseArguments` call with no catch at all, so the same body 
makes the HTTP tab throw instead.

Review Comment:
   **This is the test that should have caught the `-F` quoting problem, and it 
cannot.**
   
   `assertFalse(parsed.getFormData().isEmpty())` passes for any non-empty 
result, including `FileArgumentHolder(report.pdf", {type=application/pd})`. The 
field half is checked by name and value; the file half, which is the part the 
last round changed, is checked only for existence.
   
   Asserting the parsed name and type would close it:
   
   ```java
   assertTrue(parsed.getFormData().stream()
           .anyMatch(e -> "upload".equals(e.getKey())
                   && "report.pdf".equals(e.getValue().getName())),
           parsed.getFormData().toString());
   ```
   
   Same shape as the assertion you already wrote for `comment`. A round trip 
asserted only for non-emptiness tests that the parser did not crash, which is a 
weaker claim than the test name makes.

Review Comment:
   **The double-quoted path is not readable by `BasicCurlParser`, so the 
command no longer round-trips.**
   
   This closes the curl side of the `;`/`,` problem — I verified curl accepts 
`-F 'up=@"a;b,c.txt";type=text/plain'`. But this class documents itself as "the 
reverse of what `BasicCurlParser` does", and the parser cannot read the form it 
now emits.
   
   `BasicCurlParser#729` takes everything after `@` and hands it to `unquote`, 
which assumes a value starting with `"` also *ends* with `"` 
(`BasicCurlParser#982`: `value.substring(1, value.length() - 1)`). With a 
`;type=` suffix after the closing quote it strips the wrong last character, and 
`ArgumentHolder.parse` then splits what is left. Fed the output of this branch:
   
   ```
   -F 'upload=@"report.pdf";type=application/pdf'
     → FileArgumentHolder(report.pdf", {type=application/pd})
   ```
   
   A stray quote on the name, and the last character of the MIME type eaten. 
For the name this quoting was introduced to protect it is worse — `a;b,c.txt` 
leaves the segment `b,c.txt"` with no `=` in it, and `ArgumentHolder#47-48` 
reads `typeParts[1]` unconditionally, so the import throws 
`ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException`.
   
   Two shapes still work, which is why nothing failed: a quoted path with no 
`;type=` suffix, and any `-F` whose value does not start with `@` (the typed 
text fields go down that branch and round-trip cleanly).
   
   The fix belongs in the parser rather than here: split the `;` options off 
before unquoting, so `@"name";type=x` reads the way curl reads it. That keeps 
both directions honest and is in scope given the PR already touches 
`RequestViewHTTP` and `PostWriter`. Quoting only when the path actually 
contains `;` or `,` would restore the common case but leave the rare one broken 
in both tools.
