** [bugs:#1293] support RFC2616 multipart end-of-body marker**
**Status:** closed-wont-fix

When receiving a multipart/* entity, the --delimiter-- token marks end of it and it should according to RFC2616 section 3.7.2 be considered the end of the body!
To support this, libcurl will have to detect when there's a multipart response and then it will have to scan for the end-of-body string in all the contents. Ugly but seemingly necessary!
The exact quote goes as:
"These restrictions exist in order to preserve the self-delimiting nature of a multipart message-body, wherein the "end" of the message-body is indicated by the    ending multipart boundary."
