+# curl-0004 — curl_mime multipart header search O(P×H) per request build
+
+## Ecosystem
+curl (C)
+
+## Severity
+LOW-MEDIUM — affects multipart POST requests; `mime_add_headers` is called
+once per MIME part during request construction; scales with P (parts) × H
+(user headers per part)
+
+## Location
+`lib/mime.c`
+- `search_header(struct curl_slist *hdrlist, ...)` (~line 252): O(H) linear scan
+- `mime_add_headers` / `Curl_mime_add_header` (~line 1696, 1730, 1777):
+  calls `search_header` 3 times per part during request construction
+
+## Description
+
+When building a multipart POST request, `mime_add_headers` checks whether the
+user has already provided `Content-Type`, `Content-Disposition`, and
+`Content-Transfer-Encoding` headers by calling `search_header` on the user's
+header list `part->userheaders`:
+
+```c
+// mime.c:252
+static char *search_header(struct curl_slist *hdrlist,
+                            const char *hdr, size_t len)
+{
+  char *value = NULL;
+  for(; !value && hdrlist; hdrlist = hdrlist->next)   // O(H) scan
+    value = match_header(hdrlist, hdr, len);
+  return value;
+}
+```
+
+Called during request construction:
+```c
+// mime.c:1696 — check Content-Type
+customct = search_header(part->userheaders, STRCONST("Content-Type"));
+
+// mime.c:1730 — check Content-Disposition
+if(!search_header(part->userheaders, STRCONST("Content-Disposition"))) { ... }
+
+// mime.c:1777 — check Content-Transfer-Encoding
+if(!search_header(part->userheaders, ...)) { ... }
+```
+
+For a multipart request with P parts each having H user headers, the cost
+per request construction is O(P × H × 3) = O(P × H).
+
+With P=100 parts × H=20 custom headers per part = 6000 header comparisons
+per request build. The `curl_slist` is a singly-linked list so there is no
+O(1) name lookup.
+
+## Fix
+
+Pre-index per-part user headers into an `unordered_set` or `unordered_map`
+keyed by header name (case-insensitive). Built once when the part's header
+list is finalized, looked up O(1):
+
+```c
+--- a/lib/mime.h
++++ b/lib/mime.h
+@@ struct curl_mimepart {
+    struct curl_slist *userheaders;      /* list of user-set headers */
++   /* O(1) header name presence check, built lazily in mime_add_headers */
++   /* For C, use a small sorted array or hash table of header names */
+
+--- a/lib/mime.c
++++ b/lib/mime.c
+-  customct = search_header(part->userheaders, STRCONST("Content-Type"));
+-  if(!search_header(part->userheaders, STRCONST("Content-Disposition"))) ...
+-  if(!search_header(part->userheaders, STRCONST("Content-Transfer-Encoding"))) ...
+
++  /* Build set once if not already cached */
++  struct header_set *hset = build_header_set(part->userheaders);
++  customct = header_set_find(hset, "Content-Type");
++  if(!header_set_contains(hset, "Content-Disposition")) ...
++  if(!header_set_contains(hset, "Content-Transfer-Encoding")) ...
+```
+
+## Complexity
+
+| Variant | Cost per part | Total for P parts, H headers |
+|---------|--------------|------------------------------|
+| Before  | O(H × 3)    | O(P × H)                     |
+| After   | O(1 × 3)    | O(P + H) for set build       |
+| Speedup | H× per part  |                              |
+
+## Notes
+- The defect is only measurable for large multipart uploads with many
+  user-supplied headers per part (e.g., upload pipelines, multipart forms
+  with per-field metadata)
+- For typical use (1-5 headers per part), H is small and the impact is minimal
+- `part->userheaders` is set once via `curl_mime_headers()` before the first
+  request; the cache can be built on first use and invalidated on modification
+- curl-0002 covers the similar `Curl_checkheaders` pattern for request-level
+  headers; this defect is the MIME-part-level equivalent
