Wouldn't this benefit from the Content-length instead of separators?
Especially since the browser knows the lengths of all items before
submission. i.e:
Content-type: multipart/x-www-form-data
Content-id: Name
Content-length: 8
Raw Data
Content-id: AnotherName
Content-length: 15
More Raw Data
Content-id: etc etc...
(ie: the last CRLF is not included in the data)
