'''Multipart/Form-Data''' is a format used for transferring form data (information typed into a web page). It is a simplified form of [[MIME]].

It is one of the formats that may constitute the body of an HTTP "POST" message. It serves the same purpose as [[Form URL encoding]], but is more efficient when transferring large amounts of binary data. Web browsers may require it for file uploads.
