New description:

 https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/core/files/storage.py#L50
 {{{
 #!python
 class Storage(object):

     def save(self, name, content, max_length=None):
         ...
         if not hasattr(content, 'chunks'):
             content = File(content)
 }}}
 For example if custom storage uses requests with post query.
 {{{
 #!python
 import requests
 class CustomStorage(object):
     def _save(self, name, content, max_length=None):
           requests.post('http://testhost.org/upload', data=content)
 }}}
 But it will result in empty upload as bool(content) is False.
 Possibly better to pass a name to File object. To ensure bool(content) is
 True
 {{{
 #!python
     if not hasattr(content, 'chunks'):
         content = File(content, name=name)
 }}}
