show how to send multipart form data without files

Open sylann opened this issue 11 months ago • 2 comments

Summary

As it is, the documentation hints at the possibility of sending a request with a multipart form encoded body, but it is not explicit about it.

Hence it takes more time to figure it out on your own, especially for a less experienced developer.

This PR only adds 1 example in the multipart section of the quickstart page to demonstrate the process.

I only have a doubt on the section title and the small sentence before the example does not mention that the example makes use of the files param instead of the data param.

Could improve this if needed.

@sylann I see this error when I try to use your example - chunk = self.file.read(self.CHUNK_SIZE) AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'read'
