Subject: [PATCH http-server 1/2] fix #6887: apiserver: accept quoted multipart boundary
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2026 05:34:22 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260925053423.7-2-me@dualfroz.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260925053423.7-1-me@dualfroz.com>

RFC 2046 allows the boundary parameter of a multipart Content-Type to
be a quoted-string, and even requires it if the boundary contains
characters like a colon. RFC 7578 notes that quoting it is often
necessary for multipart/form-data.

parse_content_type() took everything after the equal sign verbatim, so
for 'boundary="foo"' the quotes became part of the boundary. The
delimiter lines of the body, correctly written as '--foo', never
matched and the upload failed.

Strip the quotes of a quoted boundary.
