[issue3244] multipart/form-data encoding

Hm, there is one issue.  The example in the docstring wouldn't work.

You have to get the headers *after* the body, because the boundary isn't generated until the body has been.  So this would work:

  body = msg.get_body()
  headers = dict(msg)

But this won't:

  headers = dict(msg)
  body = msg.get_body()

I'm not sure what the best way to deal with this is.  Maybe instead of get_body we should have get_request_data which returns both headers and body.  That would provide simpler semantics.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Forest
