Parameters in POST body

Right now every request to upload a file includes the details about the upload.

Having an option to send the parameters like resumableChunkNumber in the HTTP body would simplify the server log files a lot.

I agree about the problems of the server log; but the reason for having the info in the request is that backends aren't able to stream the parsings of the multipart body -- meaning that it can be helpful for implementations to be able to read the request outside of the body. And in trying to keep the interface between client and server side clean, I would hate to add a setting on the client-side that forces more implementation work on the server-side.

I understand your point. But if you make it an optional thing (which is disabled by default) and someone uses it, he would be aware of the server implications.
