Sooo.

I have a need to access the posted data (multipart form data), it contains both file blobs and basic human readable elements.

I note express has `express.raw()` as a usable middleware.

does `RED.httpAdmin` expose this somehow?

I have a few admin endpoints of which I send multipart form data.  
I can (and have) processed this to extract the objects contained in the multipart form data, but I now want to avoid having to include `body-parser` as a dep.

KISS!

Ended up subscribing to `req.on('data')`
