usage

// reader with defaults
var reader = new FormdataReader(request);

// reader with custom limits. all limits are optional
var reader = new FormdataReader({
	  request: request
	, maxLength: 1000 * 1000 * 10 		// 10mb, defaults to 128mb
	, maxFormdataLength: 10000 			// 10k for non file form fields, defaults to 2 mb
	, maxFileLength: 1000 * 1000 * 2 	// 2mb, defaults to 128mb
	, cachePath: '/tmp' 				// store files on the fs instead in memory, defaults to memory
	, cacheId: 'some machine id' 		// if files are stored on the filesystem they will contain a 
										// machine identifier in their filename so one can use shared
										// storage solutions between mutliple machines. defaults to 
										// an identifier provided by the «ee-machine-id» package
});

// when the request has ended and all data has been received, decoded and cached
// the reader will emit an «end» event
reader.on('end', function(){
	// you may retreive the formdata using the «getForm» method
	log(reader.getForm());
});

example

var reader = new FormdataReader(request);

reader.on('end', function(){
	log(reader.getForm());
	// name: 'Michael'
	// files: [
	//    {
	//        data: 2e 2e 2e 20 63 6f 6e 74 65 6e 74 73 20 6f 66 20 66 69 6c 65 31 2e 74 78 74 20 2e 2e 2e 
	//        , filename: "file1.txt"
	//    }
	//    , {
	//        data: 2e 2e 2e 63 6f 6e 74 65 6e 74 73 20 6f 66 20 66 69 6c 65 32 2e 67 69 66 2e 2e 2e
