Hello, I've been kicking around the idea for this module for a few days now and I'd like to commit it to code. The module I'm proposing would be called C<HTTP::Multipart>. It would accept an C<HTTP::Response> object and determine if it indeed does contain a multipart HTTP message. If it does then the passed object would be cloned once for every part in the message and the 'Content-Length', 'Content-Type', and 'Content-Range' headers would be adjusted along with the C<content> value to reflect one of the parts. Then a list of non-multipart C<HTTP::Response> objects would be returned. I believe this would simplify handling multipart responses.
1) Is this a good idea? 2) Is HTTP::Multipart a good name? 3) Is it appropriate to require C<HTTP::Response> objects? Would just requiring objects to be ISA C<HTTP::Message> or C<HTTP::Headers> be better? 4) Should there be an C<HTTP::Multipart> object that contains a list of modified C<HTTP::Response> objects or would a class method be sufficient? 5) if a class method is sufficient, would should it's name be? (ie., C<parase>?) Cheers, -J --
