How to receive Multipart information

You can receive multipart request if you include this static method (from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7460088/reading-file-input-from-a-multipart-form-data-post):

`` private static async Task ParseFiles(Stream data, string contentType, Action<string, Stream> fileProcessor) { var streamContent = new StreamContent(data); streamContent.Headers.ContentType = MediaTypeHeaderValue.Parse(contentType);

        var provider = await streamContent.ReadAsMultipartAsync();

        foreach (var httpContent in provider.Contents)
        {
            var fileName = httpContent.Headers.ContentDisposition.FileName;

            if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(fileName))
            {
                continue;
            }

            using (var fileContents = await httpContent.ReadAsStreamAsync())
            {
                fileProcessor(fileName.Replace("\"", ""), fileContents);
            }
        }
    }
