names in multipart requests should not be encoded

[mario@…]

It turnes out that names in multipart requests should not be encoded. Even though, there seems to be no standard for this.

http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.4.2 states "a name attribute specifying the control name of the corresponding control. Control names originally encoded in non-ASCII character sets may be encoded using the method outlined in [RFC2045]."

I checked with firefox and a simple html test and it behaves like this: form with get = encode names form with post = encode names form with post and mulipart = do not encode names

Since this has been reported in the 0.2 timeframe, and I have not heard a strong outcry for this to be fixed, I'm moving it to 1.0.

It would be good to get a test case to make it easier to test a fix.

Multipart support has been moved to dojox.io.xhrMultiPart, reassigning there, not blocking 1.0.

I believe that names have not been encoded for a while now, at least with dojox.io.xhrMultiPart; just did a few sniff tests and the body of the POST looks correct.

Closing this ticket out.
