Thanks for this first review, indeed refactoring the session backend and
extracting the bits that are too specific would make sense.

Is there in Beast a way to do the multipart encoding ? Or would it be of
interest if I first factor it out and implement it in a more robust way
so that it may enter once Beast ? Or is multipart something you don't
see in Beast ?
