We've run this through our QA process and we've been running it for almost a week without issue.  From our standpoint, it's ready for merge.  Can we help with anything else?

Thank you!

> HTTP POST multipart processing converts bare CR or LF chars to CRLF pairs, corrupting most files when extracted with Files::ANALYZER_EXTRACT.  This is clear in the attached gdb.log, which has a backtrace that shows a buffer with the start of a PDF file entering MIME/HTTP entity processing at frame 25, and emerging with LF chars converted to CRLF at frame 6.
> Also attached are the pcap file associated with the backtrace, and an initial patch that we've barely begun to test.  A point of concern with the patch is that it changes a weird.log entry from "line_terminated_with_single_CR" to "http_no_crlf_in_header_list".  It does enable Files::ANALYZER_EXTRACT to correctly extract the PDF file from the attached pcap.
> Please let me know if we can provide anything else to help with this.
