WAS 3.x does accept that ENCODING type (its not a mime type really, the mime types are encoded into the upload, its really a multi-part document like an email with attachements..)
The pl/sql cartridge that comes with OAS3.x does not process that encoding type (only GET and POST).
A user written cartridge can (and does, you refer to it and it works with 1.x, 2.x, 3.x of the webserver)...
Whats in apache that does this any easier then any other webserver? Apache doesn't have a pl/sql cartridge (although you can, and people have, used the owa replacement with apache...)
