Reading multipart/form-data From a Servlet (File Upload)

I was looking to get a file from a request object. I do not want to
use third party API's/Classes. I simply wanted to stream the
request.getInputStream() object or some other way. Any advice I
searched all through the groups with incomplete code or methodologies.
I simply want to pass a file to another servlet and then have that
servlet reads the files data and do processing.
Thanks in Advance!!!

Did you have a question, or were you just musing?

Seems to me you could either use the HTTP PUT request method, or something
like Commons FileUpload to do it with multipart form data. I think PUT
would be closer to what you describe.
