I was originally thinking of doing that, however the existing HttpClient doesn't provide a way to generate the url encoded post data either. Right now that's all done externally. For example, say I want to submit a form with name, email and password. Currently you would:

String postData = "name=" + UrlEncode(name) + "&email=" + UrlEncode(email) + "&password=" + UrlEncode(password);

HttpClient http("http://localhost/post.cgi");
http.Post(postData);
http.Execute();

So, I kept w/the same type of synario:

MultiformPost form;
form.Set("name", name);
form.Set("email", email);
form.Set("password", password);

HttpClient http("http://localhost/post.cgi");
http.Post(form.ToString());
http.ContentType(form.GetContentType());
http.Execute();

It's just that a Multipart Form is a more complex post structure than a url encoded post structure. Thus a helper class is just about essential. I did do multipart form uploads before w/o my helper class, but the helper class is a big help Smile
