Hello Nimians!
I'm well into making a CMS/site builder using Guildenstern, but i'm just now
getting around to needing forms that upload files. I'm trying to use
Guildenstern's streamingserver[1] and the receiveInChunks() iterator in an
example program just to try and get it working. The Guildenstern examples stop
short of actually showing you how to grab and save the file, AFAICT. If i echo
the body(:string) of a POST request, i get something like this.
(This output is from an attempt without a file upload. If i would have added a
file, in the second chunk it would have had a filename, a different
Content-Type, and after that a bunch of gibberish which would have been the
uploaded file itself (base64 encoded?).

hello, nimians!

Is there something in the standard library to parse this string "format" to
grab the data i need? Or what approach would you take? I've always had a
request object with fields in the past, so i'm not sure what i'm supposed to be
looking into. :)
Thanks in advance
