I think FormHttpMessageConverter reactive alternative will be composed of 3 distinct classes :

• MultipartFormHttpMessageWriter
• UrlEncodedFormHttpMessageReader
• UrlEncodedFormHttpMessageWriter.

I think that makes sense and reader-writer split makes it easy to reflect such asymmetric cases. Perhaps we could shorten the names a bit, e.g. FormHttpMessageReader/Writer and MultipartHttpMessageWriter?

Sébastien Deleuze commented

Yes, these shorter names are better indeed.

Resolving this since the form reader/writer are now in. The multipart writer is more related to the multipart request support.
