The test example is a hand-crafted version of the multipart form data here:

http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.4.2 

The actual multipart form content that the validator sends to the protocol instance is at the bottom of this email.  It was easier
to use the tool to construct a multi-part form request from the components of the request than from the verbatim request as it is in the test example.  

The tool is called poster [1] and it doesn't seem to use multipart/mixed as shown in the HTML 4 documentation.  

However, that document says "If multiple files are to be returned as the result of a single form entry, they should be returned as 'multipart/mixed' embedded within the 'multipart/form-data'".
