multipart-stack

node-multipart-stack

A StreamStack subclass that parses "multipart" data, often from SMTP or HTTP.

This module implements Section 7.2 of RFC 1341. It can be easily used in conjunction with any node ReadableStream.

Usage

Here's a simple HTTP server that can parse multipart requests, like from an HTML multipart form.

var http = require('http');
var multipart = require('multipart-stack');

var server = http.createServer(function(req, res) {
  var parsed = multipart.parseContentType(req.headers['content-type']);
  if (parsed.type === 'multipart') {
    var parser = new multipart.Parser(req, parsed.boundary);
    parser.on('part', function(part) {
      // Fired once for each individual part of the multipart message.
      // 'part' is a ReadableStream that also emits a 'headers' event.
      part.on('headers', function(headers) {
        console.log(headers);
      });
      part.pipe(process.stdout);
    });
  }
});
