Making a file upload optional in a form #80

Description

@jkalyanapu

I currently have a form in my application, but if I don't upload a file in the form the form will fail to validate. Here are the relevant parts of my content.h

struct submit_op_form : public cppcms::form {
  cppcms::widgets::file image;
  submit_op_form() {
    image.limits(0,500*1024);
    image.mime(booster::regex("(image/(png|jpeg))|$")); //Allow mimetypes of either image/png or image/jpeg

    image.filename(booster::regex("([_a-zA-Z0-9]+\\.(png|jpg|jpeg))")); //Allow filenames of the form [text consisting of alphanumeric characters].png/jpg/jpeg
    image.mime(booster::regex("(image/(png|jpeg))")); //Allow mimetypes of either image/png or image/jpeg
    image.add_valid_magic("\x89\x50\x4E\x47\x0D\x0A\x1A\x0A"); //magic numbers for png files
    image.add_valid_magic("\xff\xd8"); //magic numbers for jpeg files
    image.add_valid_magic("");
    add(image);
  }
  virtual bool validate() {
    if (!form::validate()) {
  return false;
    }
    return true;
  }
};

More specifically, I never called image.non_empty() and I added an empty string as a valid magic number but the form still fails to validate.
