Describe the Issue

Hi team,

if I generate a code snippet for Python - Requests for a multipart POST request, a code such as this is generated:

import requests

url = "https://example.com"

payload = {'foob': 'bar'}
files=[
  ('file',('file.html','rb'),'text/html'))
]
headers = {
  'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data',
  'Accept': 'application/json',
}

response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload, files=files)

print(response.text)

note the 'Content-Type' value. However, Python's Request module need to generate the 'Content-Type' itself, including the boundary.

See https://stackoverflow.com/a/12385661 for details.

Regards, Jano

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create new (working) multipart POST request.
2. Generate code snippet for Python - Requests.
3. Run the code using e.g. python 3.10.10 and requests 2.31.0
4. request will fail (likely with error 500)
5. review the python's request headers (you can include print(response.request.headers) on the last line to dump request's headers)
