Failing to parse non-standard line breaks

[aretasg]

Hi,

A while ago I have found that the package does not handle non standard line breaks e.g. \n for separation of multiple files. Both, Flask and https://httpbin.org/post can handle non-standard line breaks and it would be nice if python-multipart would do so too.

The issue was originally reported here: Kludex/starlette#1059

However, I think this is now a python-multipart and not a starlette issue, so I am forwarding the issue here.

Updates on this? Is there an easy workaround?

Nonstandard line breaks would be a protocol breach though, would they not.

@jhnstrk Do you think this makes sense?

This request seems reasonable, because many (but not all) other multipart parsers, in Python and other languages, do handle the non-standard LF-only ending after the boundary is matched. But I don't see failing to handle this as a bug.
