Getting posted data in apex

Hi,

 

I have a problem to solve whereby I am receiving binarydata (a multipart form) from an HTTPPost request. This is from a third party component, but hosted within a visualforce page, to which I have little control.

 

My question is how to access the 'posted binary data' within apex? In Jsp it might be something like:-

DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(request.getInputStream());
int formDataLength = request.getContentLength();
byte dataBytes[] = new byte[formDataLength];
int byteRead = 0;
int totalBytesRead = 0;
etc...
 
 
Couldn't find any tutorials or other information about direct access to the request object and HTTPRequest seems to relate to creating my own request inside apex.
 
I have also tried to create a webservice but would need to create a SOAP request, which I can't do, so stuck there...
 
Any help appreciated.
 
Rich.
