HttpLibrary and multipart/form-data messages Boundaries are altered

[grainnewallace]

This issue was initially raised in the robot -framework users forum:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/robotframework-users/DB-mFNlAy3o

Robot Framework version: 2.7.5
robotframework_httplibrary-0.4.1

When I send a HTTP Post request using httpLibrary of a multi-part form data message type the additional boundaries get added which corrupts the message:
When I sent the message to Fiddler this is what I get:

The boundary am I using is 8d030e3574841ed
The extra content added by http library is ------------a_BoUnDaRy622531459405$

POST http://127.0.0.1:8888/ClinicalDataService/api/Documents HTTP/1.1
Accept-Encoding: identity
Host: 127.0.0.1:8888
Content-Type: multipart/form-data;boundary=8d030e3574841ed
Content-Length: 43732

"metadata"

Possibly related to #13

Also, I have no idea why httplibrary (or webtest) would do that.

Is this resolved?

not sure if this MarketSquare/robotframework-requests#10 can solve the issue
