Soup.form_decode_multipart
Description: Reference for Soup.form_decode_multipart

### Function

# Soupform_decode_multipart

#### Declaration [src]

    GHashTable*
    soup_form_decode_multipart (
      SoupMultipart* multipart,
      const char* file_control_name,
      char** filename,
      char** content_type,
      GBytes** file
    )

#### Description [src]

Decodes the “multipart/form-data” request in `multipart`.

this is a convenience method for the case when you have a single file upload control in a form. (Or when you don’t have any file upload controls, but are still using “multipart/form-data” anyway.) Pass the name of the file upload control in `file_control_name`, and `soup_form_decode_multipart()` will extract the uploaded file data into `filename`, `content_type`, and `file`. All of the other form control data will be returned (as strings, as with `soup_form_decode()` in the returned `GHashTable`.

You may pass `NULL` for `filename`, `content_type` and/or `file` if you do not care about those fields. `soup_form_decode_multipart()` may also return `NULL` in those fields if the client did not provide that information. You must free the returned filename and content-type with `g_free()`, and the returned file data with Glib.Bytes.unref.

If you have a form with more than one file upload control, you will need to decode it manually, using `soup_multipart_new_from_message()` and `soup_multipart_get_part()`.

#### Parameters

`multipart`

  Type: `SoupMultipart`

  A `SoupMultipart`.

  The argument can be `NULL`.
  The data is owned by the caller of the function.
  The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.

`filename`

  Type: `char**`

  Return location for the name of the uploaded file.

  The argument will be set by the function.
  The argument can be `NULL`.
  The caller of the function takes ownership of the returned data, and is responsible for freeing it.

`content_type`

  Type: `char**`

  Return location for the MIME type of the uploaded file.

  The argument will be set by the function.
  The argument can be `NULL`.
  The caller of the function takes ownership of the returned data, and is responsible for freeing it.
  The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.

`file`

  Type: `GBytes`

  Return location for the uploaded file data.

  The argument will be set by the function.
  The argument can be `NULL`.
  The caller of the function takes ownership of the returned data, and is responsible for freeing it.

#### Return value

Type: `GHashTable`

a hash table containing the name/value pairs (other than `file_control_name`) from `msg`, which you can free with `g_hash_table_destroy()`. On error, it will return `NULL`.

The caller of the function takes ownership of the data container, but not the data inside it.
The return value can be `NULL`.
