 *
 * 'name=@filename,filename2,filename3'
 *
 * or use double-quotes quote the filename:
 *
 * 'name=@"filename","filename2","filename3"'
 *
 * If you want content-types specified for each too, write them like:
 *
 * 'name=@filename;type=image/gif,filename2,filename3'
 *
 * If you want custom headers added for a single part, write them in a separate
 * file and do like this:
 *
 * 'name=foo;headers=@headerfile' or why not
 * 'name=@filemame;headers=@headerfile'
 *
 * To upload a file, but to fake the file name that will be included in the

 * 'name=@filename;filename=/dev/null' or quote the faked filename like:
 * 'name=@filename;filename="play, play, and play.txt"'
 *
 * If filename/path contains ',' or ';', it must be quoted by double-quotes,
