[Bug 12065] Please point out that for <input type=file multiple> http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2388#section-4.2 should not be used. Instead each file should have its own field. Otherwise you break PHP.

--- Comment #2 from Ian 'Hixie' Hickson <ian@hixie.ch> 2011-02-14 19:13:08 UTC ---
There's actually no conflict with the RFC here, and the spec is technically
already correct, though I will be sure to add a note explaining this case.

The RFC says that you can use multipart/mixed only if a single form field has
multiple files as a set, but in the case of an <input type=file multiple>
control, each file generates a separate form field in the form data set.

As an aside: it wouldn't take much to get me to rewrite that RFC into the HTML
spec and give up on using it as an external reference, because it's not the
most well-written of RFCs. But if it's not truly needed, which so far it seems
it has not been, then I'd rather spend the time working on more important
things.
