Hi Germán,

I never wrote code to do the client side of a multipart/form-data encoded post, but I did do the server part (in Common Lisp), although it was a long time ago. Furthermore I remember that it was a bit of a mess ;-)

But looking at the Drakma Common Lisp web client documentation ( http://www.weitz.de/drakma/#form-data ) it seems as if they are doing what you are looking for, which would essentially be a mix between your code and Andreas' form post code: i.e. combine parameters with files in one post using another encoding.

Still, you will always have to known upfront which fields are expected.

Maybe if I have some time I will look into it, but I can't promise anything.

Sven

I think this is a nice example of how to use WebServer for something useful and real. It also documents the MC HTTP client/server protocol with working code. It is available from http://www.squeaksource.com/ADayAtTheBeach as WebClient-Monticello.x.n.mcz.
