Fix syntax error in MultipartRequest code example (#302)

Fixes #164

The primary syntax bug is a missing closing paren. This commit also
fixes some style:

- Use cascades in the sample code.
- Use consistent single quotes in the sample code.
- Use a blank line following the first sentence of all doc comments.
- Delete some wholly redundant doc comments.
- Rename a private constant to lower camel case.

A composable, Future-based library for making HTTP requests.

pub package Build Status

This package contains a set of high-level functions and classes that make it easy to consume HTTP resources. It's platform-independent, and can be used on both the command-line and the browser.

Using

The easiest way to use this library is via the top-level functions. They allow you to make individual HTTP requests with minimal hassle:

import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;

var url = 'https://example.com/whatsit/create';
var response = await http.post(url, body: {'name': 'doodle', 'color': 'blue'});
print('Response status: ${response.statusCode}');
print('Response body: ${response.body}');

print(await http.read('https://example.com/foobar.txt'));

If you‘re making multiple requests to the same server, you can keep open a persistent connection by using a Client rather than making one-off requests. If you do this, make sure to close the client when you’re done:

var client = new http.Client();
try {
  var uriResponse = await client.post('https://example.com/whatsit/create',
      body: {'name': 'doodle', 'color': 'blue'});
  print(await client.get(uriResponse.bodyFields['uri']));
} finally {
  client.close();
}

You can also exert more fine-grained control over your requests and responses by creating Request or StreamedRequest objects yourself and passing them to Client.send.

This package is designed to be composable. This makes it easy for external libraries to work with one another to add behavior to it. Libraries wishing to add behavior should create a subclass of BaseClient that wraps another Client and adds the desired behavior:

class UserAgentClient extends http.BaseClient {
  final String userAgent;
  final http.Client _inner;

  UserAgentClient(this.userAgent, this._inner);

  Future<StreamedResponse> send(BaseRequest request) {
    request.headers['user-agent'] = userAgent;
    return _inner.send(request);
  }
}
