Sending multipart responses

[dubadub]

Hi there,

I'm wondering how can I send multipart responses with Rocket? I would imagine I should be using Response builder, but I can't figure out how... Ideally with streaming...

Response headers:

Content-Type: multipart/x-mixed-replace; boundary=----MultipartStreamBoundary

Body:

----MultipartStreamBoundary
Content-Type: text/plain

How can I help you
----MultipartStreamBoundary
Content-Type: text/plain

today?
----MultipartStreamBoundary
Content-Type: audio/mpeg

���� BINARY DATA ����

Thank you!

This turns out to be a bit more complex than most Responder implementations, since we are adapting multiple (different) readers into a single reader. I've started working on a proper solution, and I am planning to publish it as a crate.

I've published my solution as rocket-multipart, please let me know if you find any issues, or require additional features.

Wow! That's really impressive! Thank you for you help. I'll give it a try in a few days.

Hi @the10thWiz it worked really well for me, thank you! I'm wondering if it's easy enough to add custom headers into MultipartSection? I can try making a PR if you don't mind...

Feel free to make a PR. I'll take a look tonight, but it should be quite easy to add custom headers.
