It may be present in the other handlers, but I'm not using them right
now. The logic that was broken was in the wsgi handler, but perhaps it
could be factored out and used for all of them.

It was treating multipart boundaries as part of the uploaded file.

http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html#sec3.7.2

Notably, the php Request module builds multipart POST.

I'll try to cook up a test case if you like, but I don't have much time today.

Note that my patch doesn't add the ability to post multiple files (it
takes the first and discards the rest), but it could probably be
modified to.

It's read-only. I implemented handle_post() for item creation.

Thanks for your attention,
