Can be used to submit forms and file uploads to other web applications.\n\nThe API of this module is inspired by the [XMLHttpRequest-2 FormData Interface][xhr2-fd].\n\n[xhr2-fd]: http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/XMLHttpRequest-2/Overview.html#the-formdata-interface\n[streams2-thing]: http://nodejs.org/api/stream.html#stream_compatibility_with_older_node_versions\n\n## Install\n\n```\nnpm install form-data\n```\n\n## Usage\n\nIn this example we are constructing a form with 3 fields that contain a string,\na buffer and a file stream.\n\n``` javascript\nvar FormData = require('form-data');\nvar fs = require('fs');\n\nvar form = new FormData();\nform.append('my_field', 'my value');\nform.append('my_buffer', new Buffer(10));\nform.append('my_file', fs.createReadStream('/foo/bar.jpg'));\n```\n\nAlso you can use http-response stream:\n\n``` javascript\nvar FormData = require('form-data');\nvar http = require('http');\n\nvar form = new FormData();\n\nhttp.request('http://nodejs.org/images/logo.png', function(response) {\n  form.append('my_field', 'my value');\n  form.append('my_buffer', new Buffer(10));\n  form.append('my_logo', response);\n});\n```\n\nOr @mikeal's request stream:\n\n``` javascript\nvar FormData = require('form-data');\nvar request = require('request');\n\nvar form = new FormData();\n\nform.append('my_field', 'my value');\nform.append('my_buffer', new Buffer(10));\nform.append('my_logo', request('http://nodejs.org/images/logo.png'));\n```\n\nIn order to submit this form to a web application, call ```submit(url, [callback])``` method:\n\n``` javascript\nform.submit('http://example.org/', function(err, res) {\n  // res – response object (http.IncomingMessage)  //\n  res.resume(); // for node-0.10.x\n});\n\n```\n\nFor more advanced request manipulations ```submit()``` method returns ```http.ClientRequest``` object, or you can choose from one of the alternative submission methods.\n\n### Alternative submission methods\n\nYou can use node's http client interface:\n\n``` javascript\nvar http = require('http');\n\nvar request = http.request({\n  method: 'post',\n  host: 'example.org',\n  path: '/upload',\n  headers: form.getHeaders()\n});\n\nform.pipe(request);\n\nrequest.on('response', function(res) {\n  console.log(res.statusCode);\n});\n```\n\nOr if you would prefer the `'Content-Length'` header to be set for you:\n\n``` javascript\nform.submit('example.org/upload', function(err, res) {\n  console.log(res.statusCode);\n});\n```\n\nTo use custom headers and pre-known length in parts:\n\n``` javascript\nvar CRLF = '\\r\\n';\nvar form = new FormData();\n\nvar options = {\n  header: CRLF + '--' + form.getBoundary() + CRLF + 'X-Custom-Header: 123' + CRLF + CRLF,\n  knownLength: 1\n};\n\nform.append('my_buffer', buffer, options);\n\nform.submit('http://example.com/', function(err, res) {\n  if (err) throw err;\n  console.log('Done');\n});\n```\n\nForm-Data can recognize and fetch all the required information from common types of streams (```fs.readStream```, ```http.response``` and ```mikeal's request```), for some other types of streams you'd need to provide \"file\"-related information manually:\n\n``` javascript\nsomeModule.stream(function(err, stdout, stderr) {\n  if (err) throw err;\n\n  var form = new FormData();\n\n  form.append('file', stdout, {\n    filename: 'unicycle.jpg',\n    contentType: 'image/jpg',\n    knownLength: 19806\n  });\n\n  form.submit('http://example.com/', function(err, res) {\n    if (err) throw err;\n    console.log('Done');\n  });\n});\n```\n\nFor edge cases, like POST request to URL with query string or to pass HTTP auth credentials, object can be passed to `form.submit()` as first parameter:\n\n``` javascript\nform.submit({\n  host: 'example.com',\n  path: '/probably.php?extra=params',\n  auth: 'username:password'\n}, function(err, res) {\n  console.log(res.statusCode);\n});\n```\n\n## Notes\n\n- ```getLengthSync()``` method DOESN'T calculate length for streams, use ```knownLength``` options as workaround.\n- If it feels like FormData hangs after submit and you're on ```node-0.10```, please check [Compatibility with Older Node Versions][streams2-thing]\n\n## TODO\n\n- Add new streams (0.10) support and try really hard not to break it for 0.8.x.\n\n## License\n\nForm-Data is licensed under the MIT license.\n",
