Add support for file uploads about httpbin

[moy]

It would be nice to have an <input type="file"> on http://httpbin.org/forms/post, so that we can easily test the file upload from a form.

You can actually upload files to the /post endpoint. The file will show up under the "files" attribute, and you can call len() on that to get the size.

$ curl -F [email protected] http://httpbin.org/post
{
  "args": {},
  "data": "",
  "files": {
    "filedata": "test file\n"
  },
  "form": {},
  "headers": {
    "Accept": "*/*",
    "Connection": "close",
    "Content-Length": "204",
    "Content-Type": "multipart/form-data; boundary=----------------------------6f3090fec3a4",
    "Host": "httpbin.org",
    "User-Agent": "curl/7.30.0",
    "X-Request-Id": "a6a6fbb4-a8aa-4d60-8918-c3591ea2ab35"
  },
  "json": null,
  "origin": "198.15.98.58",
  "url": "http://httpbin.org/post"

That said, we could make this friendlier possibly. @kennethreitz can you weigh in on this?

Hi there. Any progress here?

[sigmavirus24]

Since this already exists, I'm inclined to close this unless there is some further clarification on why this needs to differ from /post.

[kennethreitz]

This is indeed what /post was intended for.

no test upload?

This assumes that the upload content type is a standard multipart/form-data or application/x-www-form-urlencoded. What if you are trying to upload all sorts of stuff like application/x-tar... etc?
