Multipart upload not working as advertised

[dignifiedquire]

According to @whyrusleeping when uploading files via the http api using add -r the request should not need to nest the multipart parts into each other, but can be simply submitted as a list. But if I try to attempt sending such a request I get the error File argument 'path' is required back.

Here is the wireshark dump of the request that's being sent: https://gist.github.com/Dignifiedquire/bc72721f5b96c7017188

Tested versions: 0.3.7, 0.3.9-dev.

Currently it is created only when the content type is "multipart/form-data": https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/blob/master/commands/http/parse.go#L99.

Closing for now as it does work, just not very intuitive.

[rht]

This could be added right away since https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/blob/master/commands/files/multipartfile.go#L68 also checks the case for 'multipart/mixed'.

[rht]

Actually, the lib itself, r.MultipartReader, doesn't handle multipart/mixed.
