22971	Can't receive file with non-ascii filename according to rfc2388	homm	nobody	"Requests, popular Python library, starting from version 2.0 sends files with non-ascii characters in filename in full compliance with rfc2388:

    The original local file name may be supplied as well, either as a
    ""filename"" parameter either of the ""content-disposition: form-data""
    header or, in the case of multiple files, in a ""content-disposition:
    file"" header of the subpart. The sending application MAY supply a
    file name; if the file name of the sender's operating system is not
    in US-ASCII, the file name might be approximated, or encoded using
    the method of RFC 2231.

Where RFC 2231 defines attributes with * char. And requests uses such attribute name to send non-ascii file names.

But Django doesn't recognize such files and puts raw files content in `request.POST` instead of population `request.FILES`."	Bug	closed	HTTP handling	dev	Normal	fixed			Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	0	0
