Here are some links to other implementations:

Racket:
http://docs.racket-lang.org/web-server/http.html#(def._((lib._web-server/http/request-structs..rkt)._binding~3afile))

Python:
http://github.com/defnull/multipart/

I don't know any of them.  I just had the links bookmarked to take a
look at them one day (which haven't happened so far).


Best wishes.
