@timotheecour and I came up with a solution to a common
problem:
How to represent multiple files in a forum post?
Why not multipart/mixed? Since this is NNTP based, wouldn't
that be the natural choice? That it, assuming that
forum.dlang.org is the target for this, of course.
Actually, using multipart/mixed was my initial thought! But that
format is a bit awkward and verbose for humans to type, which
makes sense because it was designed to be generated by programs,
not as a human-maintained block of text.
HAR:
======================================================================
--- a.txt
This is a.txt
--- b.txt
This is b.txt
======================================================================
Multipart:
======================================================================
Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=<some-boundary>
--<some-boundary>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Filename: a.txt
This is a.txt
--<some-boundary>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Filename: b.txt
This is b.txt
======================================================================
HAR was actually born out of Multipart, it's really just a
simplified version of it :)
