--- Comment #4 from hans.ris...@data-experts.de --- Hi Michael, thanks for the additional context - I just wanted to make sure I follow completely. > The bundled Commons Upload MUST NOT be used to parse anything but, as Mark > said, > form data as per Servlet spec. Use an external Commons FileUpload. Do you mean to say that 1) you disagree with Mark that Tomcat _maybe_ could go beyond the spec if it permits or 2) that the spec doesn't permit it? --- I'm also not positive I understand your proposal to > Use an external Commons FileUpload Do you mean to say we should opt to receive a bare HttpRequest and put it through Commons FileUpload ourselves instead of through the Framework, and then make use of some kind of configuration or extension options? --- As for your comments of Spring Boot - I believe it would, from that piece of documentation, allow us to integrate our own Multipart resolver and handle all of this ourselves, but as an application developer, that doesn't seem to be a very enticing prospect. --- Since we are in a situation to do that, we have chosen to take a pragmatic approach and use multipart/form-data, even though I would have preferred multipart/mixed from the semantic descriptions, so if you believe there's no further interest in this, feel free to close. It was surprising to me that other multipart types aren't in the scope of Tomcat here, but if that's the situation I thank you for taking the time to enlighten me at the very least =) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
