Benjamin Young commented on COUCHDB-1705:
-----------------------------------------
{{multipart/form-data}} is not that dissimilar to {{multipart/related}} which
CouchDB can handle for PUT requests.
The format follows this pattern:
```
--xYzZY
Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"name\"
BigBlueHat
--xYzZY
Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"website\"
http://bigbluehat.com/
--xYzZY
Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"photo\"
Content-Type: image/png
...insert binary photo...
```
The {{Content-Type}} defaults to {{text/plain}} otherwise.

> Update Function does not parse multipart/form-data

> log(req);
> var newdoc = {};
> ...
> return [newdoc, \{

> method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
> <input type="text" name="classname"/><br>

> {quote}
> { "body" : "------WebKitFormBoundaryE6xRBni3g8MNw14P\r\nContent-Disposition:
> form-data;
> name=\"classname\"\r\n\r\nABC\r\n------WebKitFormBoundaryE6xRBni3g8MNw14P--\r\n",
