Bug ID: 59660
Summary: VisualEditor: Use multipart/form-data encoding when
POSTing HTML
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All

Per Gabriel's report via email, when VE POSTs HTML, it uses
multipart/x-www-urlencoded to encode the POST body, which results in a lot of
URL-encoding of special characters (especially <>") in the HTML. We should
instead use multipart/form-data , which is more efficient for such large POST
bodies with many special characters.
TODO: Figure out how to tell the browser to use this encoding when sending an
AJAX request.
