Description:
------------
The built in web server does not handle file uploads, instead throwing an error.

This is a fairly clean build of alpha 3.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
var_dump($_SERVER);
?>

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
    <label for="filename">Select a file to upload:</label><br>
    <input type="file" id="file" name="file">
    <br><br>
    <input type="submit" name="action" value="Upload">
</form>

Expected result:
----------------
array(1) { ["file"]=> array(5) { ["name"]=> string(7) "testupload.txt" ["type"]=> 
string(10) "text/plain" ["tmp_name"]=> string(26) "/private/var/tmp/phpynOZom" 
["error"]=> int(0) ["size"]=> int(12) } } 

Actual result:
--------------
array(0) { } 


--
Error log throws:


PHP Warning:  Missing boundary in multipart/form-data POST data in Unknown on 
line 0

forgot to add, that I started the server with:
php -nS localhost:8001 -t.

and the server output was: 

[Thu Aug 18 15:13:56 2011] ::1:54367 GET /testUpload.php - Request read
[Thu Aug 18 15:13:56 2011] ::1:54367 GET /testUpload.php - Response sent successfully (200)
[Thu Aug 18 15:14:01 2011] ::1:54369 POST /testUpload.php - Request read

this should due to the following code in sapi/cli/php_cli_server.c 2161 : 
php_cli_server_client_populate_request_info:

...
 {
        char **val;
        const char delimiter[] = ";";
        if (SUCCESS == zend_hash_find(&client->request.headers, "Content-Type", 
sizeof("Content-Type"), (void**)&val)) {
            request_info->content_type = strtok(*val, delimiter);
        }
    }
...

which erased the boundary content of "multipart/form-data; boundary=----****",
