multipart/* HTTP responses

About a month and a half ago, I asked a question on this list about
multipart/* responses to HTTP requests. I'd like to thank the people
that responded. Here's a summary of what I found out.

Although browsers, in general do not support "multipart/mixed"
responses, it is possible that they would support
"multipart/alternative" at some point.

However, some special purpose applications including bugzilla do
use the "multipart/*" mime-types in responses.

In summary, although it is not common, I cannot ignore the possibility
that I'll need to code for this kind of response.

Thanks for everyone's help.
