Description (last modified by Janos Roden)

Regarding request.FILES and multipart/form-data requests I think it worth to mention in the doc that the filename parameter of the content-disposition header of the part is ​crucial to handle the part as a file.

I used a low level library to generate requests and I thought Django will use a temporary file (and file name) for this content.
Of course after I found out how it works it's make sense, but read about it in the docs would have help me to fix my code much quicker.
