## DESCRIPTION

## ATTRIBUTES

This class defines the following immutable attributes

### raw\_data

The raw data as returned via HTTP::Body.

### name

The part name that gets extracted from the content-disposition header.

### size

The raw byte count (over http) of the data.  This is not the same as the character length

### headers

An HTTP::Headers object that represents the submitted headers of the POST.  This object will handle the following methods:

*content\_type*

*content\_encoding*

*content\_type\_charset*

These three methods are the same as methods described in HTTP::Headers.

## METHODS

### build\_from\_part\_data

Factory method to build an object from part data returned by HTTP::Body

### part\_data\_has\_complex\_headers

Returns true if there more than one header (indicates the part data is complex and contains content type and encoding information.).
