If you are saying that you have other inputs in the form, and that you are not getting them in request.POST, you may not be specifying the correct enctype attribute in the form tag (should be multipart/form-data).
If there are other values you want to send that are not form inputs, one option is to url encode them and add them as query parameters to the form tag's action attribute, and they will appear in request.GET, even though you are doing a POST. You should do a POST to reliably upload a file, since various things in the chain may have restrictions on the length or content of URL path strings.
