I've been trying to use the mime package for HTTP form
data (see <http://wiki.tcl.tk/FileUploadWithTclSHttp>).

The http package wants additional HTTP headers as a list,
and the content-type separately.

The mime package doesn't have a getheaders method returning
a list of headers and getbody doesn't work for multipart.
I think buildmessage should be split into those two functions.
It's easy enough to get the content-type from the headers
ourself once we have them.

    mime::getheader $token returns a list of header value pairs.
    getbody doesn't make sense for a multipart message.

    ?? Then how do I combine the mime and http packages
    to implement HTTP form data? The http package wants
    the body separately. At least that was the case when
    I filed this RFE, I admit that haven't looked at the
    issue since.
