Subject: (PATCH) Support in CGI.pm for XForms submit
Hi, XForms describes two new unique ways of posting. These are identified by a POST with Content-type: application/xml or a POST with Content-type: multipart/related; boundary=xxx; start=xxx; where start is the Content-ID of the XML data. Attached is a patch that implements the support for this two types of POST, the patch includes two new test scripts which test the new feature. All the tests continue to pass in my environment. I tried to be as less intrusive as possible, which resulted in creating a new method called read_multipart_related which is very much alike read_multipart, but to avoid unexpected breakage, I made it as a new method. Please consider applying this patch, XForms is starting to become an option for new web applciations in controlled environments and it would be nice to have support for it in the standard CGI.pm module. Thanks in advance, Daniel Ruoso
