		Package multipart implements MIME multipart parsing, as defined in RFC
		2046.

		The implementation is sufficient for HTTP (RFC 2388) and the multipart
		bodies generated by popular browsers.

	      writer.go


Code Examples

	
		package main
		
		import (
			"fmt"
			"io"
			"log"
			"mime"
			"mime/multipart"
			"net/mail"
			"strings"
		)
		
		func main() {
			msg := &mail.Message{
				Header: map[string][]string{
					"Content-Type": {"multipart/mixed; boundary=foo"},
				},
				Body: strings.NewReader(
					"--foo\r\nFoo: one\r\n\r\nA section\r\n" +
						"--foo\r\nFoo: two\r\n\r\nAnd another\r\n" +
						"--foo--\r\n"),
			}
			mediaType, params, err := mime.ParseMediaType(msg.Header.Get("Content-Type"))
			if err != nil {
				log.Fatal(err)
			}
			if strings.HasPrefix(mediaType, "multipart/") {
				mr := multipart.NewReader(msg.Body, params["boundary"])
				for {
					p, err := mr.NextPart()
					if err == io.EOF {
						return
					}
					if err != nil {
						log.Fatal(err)
					}
					slurp, err := io.ReadAll(p)
					if err != nil {
						log.Fatal(err)
					}
					fmt.Printf("Part %q: %q\n", p.Header.Get("Foo"), slurp)
				}

Package-Level Type Names (total 6)


	/* sort by:  |  */
	
		File is an interface to access the file part of a multipart message.
		Its contents may be either stored in memory or on disk.
		If stored on disk, the File's underlying concrete type will be an *os.File.

		
			( T) Close() error
			( T) Read(p []byte) (n int, err error)
			( T) ReadAt(p []byte, off int64) (n int, err error)
			( T) Seek(offset int64, whence int) (int64, error)
		
			*os.File
		
			 T : io.Closer
			 T : io.ReadCloser
			 T : io.Reader
			 T : io.ReaderAt
			 T : io.ReadSeekCloser
			 T : io.ReadSeeker
			 T : io.Seeker
		
			func (*FileHeader).Open() (File, error)
			func net/http.(*Request).FormFile(key string) (File, *FileHeader, error)


	
		A FileHeader describes a file part of a multipart request.

		
			Filename string
			Header textproto.MIMEHeader
			Size int64
		
			
				Open opens and returns the FileHeader's associated File.

		
			func net/http.(*Request).FormFile(key string) (File, *FileHeader, error)


	
		Form is a parsed multipart form.
		Its File parts are stored either in memory or on disk,
		and are accessible via the *FileHeader's Open method.
		Its Value parts are stored as strings.
		Both are keyed by field name.

		
			File map[string][]*FileHeader
			Value map[string][]string
		
			
				RemoveAll removes any temporary files associated with a Form.

		
			func (*Reader).ReadForm(maxMemory int64) (*Form, error)


	
		A Part represents a single part in a multipart body.

		
			
				The headers of the body, if any, with the keys canonicalized
				in the same fashion that the Go http.Request headers are.
				For example, "foo-bar" changes case to "Foo-Bar"

		
			(*T) Close() error
			
				FileName returns the filename parameter of the Part's Content-Disposition
				header. If not empty, the filename is passed through filepath.Base (which is
				platform dependent) before being returned.

			
				FormName returns the name parameter if p has a Content-Disposition
				of type "form-data".  Otherwise it returns the empty string.

			
				Read reads the body of a part, after its headers and before the
				next part (if any) begins.

		
			*T : io.Closer
			*T : io.ReadCloser
			*T : io.Reader
		
			func (*Reader).NextPart() (*Part, error)
			func (*Reader).NextRawPart() (*Part, error)


	
		Reader is an iterator over parts in a MIME multipart body.
		Reader's underlying parser consumes its input as needed. Seeking
		isn't supported.

		
			
				NextPart returns the next part in the multipart or an error.
				When there are no more parts, the error io.EOF is returned.

				As a special case, if the "Content-Transfer-Encoding" header
				has a value of "quoted-printable", that header is instead
				hidden and the body is transparently decoded during Read calls.

			
				NextRawPart returns the next part in the multipart or an error.
				When there are no more parts, the error io.EOF is returned.

				Unlike NextPart, it does not have special handling for
				"Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable".

			
				ReadForm parses an entire multipart message whose parts have
				a Content-Disposition of "form-data".
				It stores up to maxMemory bytes + 10MB (reserved for non-file parts)
				in memory. File parts which can't be stored in memory will be stored on
				disk in temporary files.
				It returns ErrMessageTooLarge if all non-file parts can't be stored in
				memory.

		
			func NewReader(r io.Reader, boundary string) *Reader
			func net/http.(*Request).MultipartReader() (*Reader, error)


	
		A Writer generates multipart messages.

		
			
				Boundary returns the Writer's boundary.

			
				Close finishes the multipart message and writes the trailing
				boundary end line to the output.

			
				CreateFormField calls CreatePart with a header using the
				given field name.

			
				CreateFormFile is a convenience wrapper around CreatePart. It creates
				a new form-data header with the provided field name and file name.

			
				CreatePart creates a new multipart section with the provided
				header. The body of the part should be written to the returned
				Writer. After calling CreatePart, any previous part may no longer
				be written to.

			
				FormDataContentType returns the Content-Type for an HTTP
				multipart/form-data with this Writer's Boundary.

			
				SetBoundary overrides the Writer's default randomly-generated
				boundary separator with an explicit value.

				SetBoundary must be called before any parts are created, may only
				contain certain ASCII characters, and must be non-empty and
				at most 70 bytes long.

			
				WriteField calls CreateFormField and then writes the given value.

		
			*T : io.Closer
		
			func NewWriter(w io.Writer) *Writer




Package-Level Functions (total 2)


	
		NewReader creates a new multipart Reader reading from r using the
		given MIME boundary.

		The boundary is usually obtained from the "boundary" parameter of
		the message's "Content-Type" header. Use mime.ParseMediaType to
		parse such headers.


	
		NewWriter returns a new multipart Writer with a random boundary,
		writing to w.




Package-Level Variables (only one)


	
		ErrMessageTooLarge is returned by ReadForm if the message form
		data is too large to be processed.
