Multi-file Content-Type for HTTP APIs

Sometimes you need to send a combination of key-value data and also file data in 1 single atomic request or response.

Use multipart/form-data for both requests and responses. Prefer this over using application/x-tar format.

Multipart actually has multiple subtypes. But the only one supported by HTTP clients and servers is multipart/form-data.
