This has become a FAQ. MultipartRequest doesn't allow for incremental
reads which would be required for this functionality. The simple
workaround is to save the files to a temp dir, then rename the temp dir
after the upload.
I'm not worried about changing the class to support incremental reads
since there's nothing in the RFC that lets you indicate the filename
should come before the files in the upload stream, so this "workaround"
is really the best way to go.
Have fun,
