Question: Does it support to parse raw multipart/form-data bodies ? about streaming-form-data

[siddhantgoel]

So to confirm if I understood correctly, the callback function would dynamically decide (based on the field name) what to do with the contained data?

If that's the case, that might not work as well in case someone uploads a huge file which would all end up being stored in memory. Streaming it directly to a file keeps the memory usage low.

At the moment it does not. PRs/discussion welcome though!

Hi, sorry for slow response.

I was just wondering if there is a module to increase the performance of parsing multipart/form-data requests that can be combined with "other frameworks". Literally parsing the raw body of multipart/form-data just like the python-multipart module does.

I'm currently experimenting, creating a web framework based on ASGI. To parse the multipart/form-data query I followed the starlette framework. You can see it here: https://github.com/aprilahijriyan/allin/blob/main/allin/parser.py#L88

I'm asking about this because I wanted to try using your module to see how it performs. ✌🏽

I suggest it might be better to follow what the python-multipart module does. such as adding a callback to hold all the data contained in it.

what to do with the contained data?

store data in tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile ?

I didn't mean that as a question. I meant it more in the sense of confirming what @aprilahijriyan was referring to.

Unless you were referring to some other workflow, in which case maybe you could leave a bit more detail on how that process would work with storing data in a temp file?
