New description:
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
[https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/http/multipartparser.py#L625
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.
