(i assume you meant multipart/form-data)

the value of a file-upload-field is, using mod_lisp or the httpd
backend, an rfc2388:mime-part object (araneida doesn't handle
multipart/form-data and i don't know what the status of
multipart/form-data on aserve is).

To get the filename, as provided by the client, use:

(rfc2388:get-header-attribute (rfc2388:get-header (value image-field)
                                                  "Content-Disposition")
                              "filename")

to get the stream use:

(rfc2388:content (value image-field))

suggestions on improving the api are more than welcome.
