That was indeed one of my first hits and it was useful to get the form
right, please note however that he is not doing anything with the
uploaded data :(, just sending it back.

And this exactly where it hurts, I cannot glue the received data
(req.body) into CGI, which would seem to do the multipart/form-data
conversion just fine.

Actually I would not care to save the body as such into a file and
have an external converter do the job(1), if I only had such an
external converer :(.

Thx anyway
Robert
