+"""
+MultiPart parsing for file uploads.
+If both a progress id is sent (either through ``X-Progress-ID``
+header or ``progress_id`` GET) and ``FILE_UPLOAD_DIR`` is set
+in the settings, then the file progress will be tracked using
+``request.file_progress``.
+
+To use this feature, consider creating a middleware with an appropriate
+``process_request``::
+
+    class FileProgressTrack(object):
+        def __get__(self, request, HttpRequest):
+            progress_id = request.META['UPLOAD_PROGRESS_ID']
+            status = # get progress from progress_id here
+
+            return status
+
+        def __set__(self, request, new_value):
+            progress_id = request.META['UPLOAD_PROGRESS_ID']
+
+            # set the progress using progress_id here.
+
+    # example middleware
+    class FileProgressExample(object):
+        def process_request(self, request):
+            request.__class__.file_progress = FileProgressTrack()

+-----------------------
+
+File uploads will be read into memory by default. This works fine for
+small to medium sized uploads (from 1MB to 100MB depending on your
+setup and usage). If you want to support larger uploads you can enable
+upload streaming where only a small part of the file will be in memory

+setting (see the settings_ document for more details).

+See `request object`_ for more details about ``request.FILES`` objects
