33 * MIME type for POSTing HTML form data.
39 * SOUP_FORM_MIME_TYPE_MULTIPART:
41 * A macro containing the value
42 * <literal>"multipart/form-data"</literal>; the MIME type used for
43 * posting form data that contains files to be uploaded.

116 * @msg: a #SoupMessage containing a "multipart/form-data" request body
117 * @file_control_name: (allow-none): the name of the HTML file upload control, or %NULL
118 * @filename: (out) (allow-none): return location for the name of the uploaded file, or %NULL
119 * @content_type: (out) (allow-none): return location for the MIME type of the uploaded file, or %NULL
120 * @file: (out) (allow-none): return location for the uploaded file data, or %NULL
122 * Decodes the "multipart/form-data" request in @msg; this is a
123 * convenience method for the case when you have a single file upload
124 * control in a form. (Or when you don't have any file upload
125 * controls, but are still using "multipart/form-data" anyway.) Pass
126 * the name of the file upload control in @file_control_name, and
127 * soup_form_decode_multipart() will extract the uploaded file data
128 * into @filename, @content_type, and @file. All of the other form
129 * control data will be returned (as strings, as with
130 * soup_form_decode()) in the returned #GHashTable.
132 * You may pass %NULL for @filename, @content_type and/or @file if you do not
133 * care about those fields. soup_form_decode_multipart() may also
134 * return %NULL in those fields if the client did not provide that
135 * information. You must free the returned filename and content-type
136 * with g_free(), and the returned file data with soup_buffer_free().
138 * If you have a form with more than one file upload control, you will
139 * need to decode it manually, using soup_multipart_new_from_message()
140 * and soup_multipart_get_part().
142 * Return value: (element-type utf8 utf8) (transfer full): a hash
143 * table containing the name/value pairs (other than
144 * @file_control_name) from @msg, which you can free with
145 * g_hash_table_destroy(). On error, it will return %NULL.
