When using the cgi module, parse_multipart fails with the supplied file with the error:

Invalid boundary in multipart form: b''

A sample program that demonstrates the error:
import cgi
f = open("60_Request.txt", "r")
print(cgi.parse_multipart(f, {'boundary': b'BgTzK0jM20UH01naJdsmAWUj7sqqeoikGZvh3mo9', 'CONTENT-LENGTH': 3992}))

This affects for instance Twisted, and all its dependencies.

It would seem that the same issue pops up elsewhere. We do indeed set the content-type, as per the default examples for unity.

So per the stackoverflow explanation you shouldn’t do that? Should we close this?

No, of course not.
The request is completely valid. Python's cgi library parses it wrong.

The 'resolution' that needs to be done is to fix it in python's source.
That, and the libraries that depend on it, like twisted, probably needs to move away from using python's cgi library at all, given the age of this bug.

As it stands, we have had to patch 16 separate calls, and will be moving away from the twisted-based server over it anyway, since it seems sketchy.

Going to have a peek at the source, but I am a bit hesitant to touch things that have that large a userbase.

Could you submit a PR then? I don't think I've looked at that module in 20 years.
