REST Client should provide multipart/form-data boundary setting

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Need to invoke a webservice with multipart/form-data input
2. Currently we can not set the boundary in REST Client GUI

See the forum entry
http://groups.google.com/group/rest-
client/browse_thread/thread/7852b269d2ac8534?hl=en

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I can set the Content-Type and charset, but can not set the boundary for 
multipart/form-data
For multipart/form-data, see 
p://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.4.2 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
restclient-ui-2.3-jar-with-dependencies.jar on windows 2003 server

Please provide any additional information below.

No

This can be set inside the Content-Type header as a param.  For instance:

Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=--my-unique-boundary

restclient-lib module has been updated to incorporate this. Will need to work 
on the UI module now.
