## Class FileUploadBase

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadBase

- Direct Known Subclasses:
    DiskFileUpload, FileUpload

      public abstract class FileUploadBase
      extends Object

  High level API for processing file uploads.

  This class handles multiple files per single HTML widget, sent using `multipart/mixed` encoding type, as specified by RFC 1867. Use `parseRequest(RequestContext)` to acquire a list of `FileItem`s associated with a given HTML widget.

  How the data for individual parts is stored is determined by the factory used to create them; a given part may be in memory, on disk, or somewhere else.
