Excellent. I think you should add an attribute to enable/disable automatic
rollback for multipart forms (when someone upload a few MB file and it
failed because his upload logon is invalid, that's cool to let him a second
chance to enter the logon (in the "input" page) without resubmiting the
file...) and it will be perfect.
