RFC 1867: Form-based File Upload in HTML

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 2854.

Current document in this lineage: RFC 2854 — The 'text/html' Media Type

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

Since file-upload is a feature that will benefit many applications, this proposes an extension to HTML to allow information providers to express file upload requests uniformly, and a MIME compatible representation for file upload responses. This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
