43   * Implements a request entity suitable for an HTTP multipart POST method.
44   * <p>
45   * The HTTP multipart POST method is defined in section 3.3 of
46   * <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1867.txt">RFC1867</a>:
47   * <blockquote>
48   * The media-type multipart/form-data follows the rules of all multipart
49   * MIME data streams as outlined in RFC 1521. The multipart/form-data contains 
50   * a series of parts. Each part is expected to contain a content-disposition 
51   * header where the value is "form-data" and a name attribute specifies 
52   * the field name within the form, e.g., 'content-disposition: form-data; 
53   * name="xxxxx"', where xxxxx is the field name corresponding to that field.
54   * Field names originally in non-ASCII character sets may be encoded using 
55   * the method outlined in RFC 1522.
56   * </blockquote>
57   * </p>
58   * <p>This entity is designed to be used in conjunction with the 
59   * {@link org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.PostMethod post method} to provide
60   * multipart posts.  Example usage:</p>
61   * <pre>
62   *  File f = new File("/path/fileToUpload.txt");
63   *  PostMethod filePost = new PostMethod("http://host/some_path");
64   *  Part[] parts = {
65   *      new StringPart("param_name", "value"),
66   *      new FilePart(f.getName(), f)
67   *  };
68   *  filePost.setRequestEntity(
69   *      new MultipartRequestEntity(parts, filePost.getParams())
70   *      );
71   *  HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
72   *  int status = client.executeMethod(filePost);
73   * </pre>
