Nope sorry, the example code was written explicitly to illustrate the
problem. Upload streaming with Swazoo works only iff you know
beforehand which fields will be files. There is now way how I can know
this. Compare this to the upload streaming of Kom which detects which
fields are files.

And even then the Swazoo code still breaks in MultiByteFileStream.
