Can you count on the header lines always stating with "Content-", unless the preceding line has a semicolon as a line-continuation character? If so, then you can scan through the headers [preferably on initial input], looking for the first instance where a line does not start with "Content-", and is not a continuation of another line starting with that string. Also, we know from doing CGI that the header section must always be followed by an empty line. When your program detects that it is reading a header, it can watch for that empty line to mark the start of the content described in the header. For the end of the content of any given mime, you already have the flag line to watch for. When you read it, you can discrad all empty lines between the end of content and the divider.
