526: <p><i>This section is non-normative.</i></p>
527: <p>When a form is submitted, the data in the form is converted into
1.27 ! mike 528: the structure specified by the <a href="http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/single-page.html#concept-fs-enctype" id="concept-fs-enctype_1" title="concept-fs-enctype">enctype</a>, and

1.19 mike 530: <p>For example, take the following form:</p>
531: <pre>
532: <form action="/find.cgi" method=get>
533: <input type=text name=t>
534: <input type=search name=q>
535: <input type=submit>
536: </form>
537: </pre>
538: <p>If the user types in "cats" in the first field and "fur" in the
539: second, and then hits the submit button, then the user agent will
540: load <code title="">/find.cgi?t=cats&q=fur</code>.</p>
541: <p>On the other hand, consider this form:</p>
542: <pre>
543: <form action="/find.cgi" method=post enctype="multipart-form-data">
544: <input type=text name=t>
545: <input type=search name=q>
546: <input type=submit>
547: </form>
548: </pre>
549: <p>Given the same user input, the result on submission is quite
550: different: the user agent instead does an HTTP POST to the given
551: URL, with as the entity body something like the following text:</p>
552: <pre>

554: Content-Disposition: form-data; name="t"

567: accidents and compromises leading to a set of requirements
568: necessary for interoperability, but in no way representing good

570: attention to the twisted details involving repeated (and in some
