01:55      str1ngs | belak: depends on the server                                 │
01:56      str1ngs | if you control the server you need to impliment it           │
02:01      str1ngs | so any io.Writer from Request.Body would work                │
02:01      str1ngs | but MultipartReader is probably better. just more complex    │
02:04       catery | are there any blog posts on what the typical situation where │
                   | you would like generics and how you get around that in Go    │

02:06      str1ngs | belak: do you really need to pust multiple files?            │

02:08        belak | str1ngs: it's part of a form                                 │
02:08      str1ngs | belak: but to save to file you can do something like.        │
                   | io.Copy(fd, mpf)                                             │

02:10      str1ngs | if say you use bytes.Buffer                                  │
02:10        belak | I just thought I remembered something like php requiring you │
                   | to unlink failed uploads                                     │
02:11      str1ngs | you might want to delete the file on io.Copy err if you use  │
                   | a a fd.                                                      │

                   | usually maps and appends are good enough                     │
02:13      str1ngs | yep why they removed alot of the containers                  │
02:13      str1ngs | and you can extend your slices with methods anyways.         │
02:14     Eridius_ | dammit guys, stop having conversations when I'm offline ;)
