I'm writing a little HTTP server and need to parse request content that is mime-encoded. All the MIME routines in the Python standard library seem to have been subsumed into the email package, which makes this operation a little awkward. It seems I have to do the following:
1. Extract the content-length header from the HTTP request and use that to read the payload. 2. Stick some artificial-looking headers onto the beginning of this payload to make it look like an email message (including the content-type and content-transfer-encoding headers) 3. Parse the resulting string into a email message That works, but it feels way too hackish for my tastes. Surely there must be a better/more standard way of doing this?
