Comment (by Janos Roden):
Hi Carlton,
I'm thinking about [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/topics/http
/file-uploads/#basic-file-uploads this] section:
Note that `request.FILES` will only contain data if the request method
was `POST` and the `<form>` that posted the request has the attribute
`enctype="multipart/form-data"`. Otherwise, `request.FILES` will be empty.
Could be extended as
Note that `request.FILES` will only contain data from form fields if
the request method was `POST` and the `<form>` that posted the request has
the attribute `enctype="multipart/form-data"` and contains at least one
`<intput type="file">` field.
Or more technically if request method was `POST`, the `Content-Type`
general header was `multipart/form-data` and the `Content-Disposition`
subpart header contains the `filename` parameter (default behavior in
browsers for this `enctype`).
Otherwise, `request.FILES` will be empty.
Feel free to correct my english, please.
I hope it isn't too complicated, what do you think?
