+File to upload: <input type=file name=file1> <input type=submit>
+</form>

+#!/bin/sh
+
+# POST upload format:
+# -----------------------------29995809218093749221856446032^M
+# Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file1"; filename="..."^M
+# Content-Type: application/octet-stream^M
+# ^M    <--------- headers end with empty line
+# file contents
+# file contents
+# file contents
+# ^M    <--------- extra empty line
+# -----------------------------29995809218093749221856446032--^M
+
+# Beware: bashism $'\r' is used to handle ^M

+# by reading NUL bytes and loses chunks of data.
+# If you are not bothered by having junk appended to the uploaded file,

+# fragment below.
