Help - need to extract boundary separated multi-part data from HttpRequest

[jjouett]

I'm trying to setup an ASPX web page to service requests from an
existing Java Client that posts multi-part data as a way to upload
files, and I can't find a straightforward way to process the request.

From the HttpRequest, the Request.Form and Request.Files collections

are empty. The Request.ContentType states the following:

multipart/form-data, boundary=012AhbCfFg225929

and using the Request.InputStream to get the content results in the
following string:

-----012AhbCfFg225929\r\ncontent-disposition: form-data;
name="os.arch"\r\n\r\nx86\r\n-----012AhbCfFg225929\r\ncontent-disposition:
form-data;
name="instructionProcessorVersion"\r\n\r\n01.019.0513\r\n-----012AhbCfFg225929\r\ncontent-disposition:

I could write code to manually parse this string to extract the values
and the uploaded file content, but I was hoping that there was a more
straightforward way, and changing the existing Java client is not an
option Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Also, I'm using .NET Framework 1.1. If anyone has a suggestion on the
best way to extract the data values from this request, I would be very
grateful.

Thanks in advance

One final check to see if anyone has a suggestion for this issue.

Thanks
