+
+ When ``encode_multipart=True`` (default), then
+ :meth:`urllib3.filepost.encode_multipart_formdata` is used to encode
+ the payload with the appropriate content type. Otherwise
+ :meth:`urllib.urlencode` is used with the
+ 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' content type.
+
+ Multipart encoding must be used when posting files, and it's reasonably
+ safe to use it in other times too. However, it may break request
+ signing, such as with OAuth.
+
+ Supports an optional ``fields`` parameter of key/value strings AND
+ key/filetuple. A filetuple is a (filename, data, MIME type) tuple where
+ the MIME type is optional. For example::
+
+ fields = {
+ 'foo': 'bar',
+ 'fakefile': ('foofile.txt', 'contents of foofile'),
+ 'realfile': ('barfile.txt', open('realfile').read()),
+ 'typedfile': ('bazfile.bin', open('bazfile').read(),
+ 'image/jpeg'),
+ 'nonamefile': 'contents of nonamefile field',
+ }
+
+ When uploading a file, providing a filename (the first parameter of the
+ tuple) is optional but recommended to best mimic behavior of browsers.
+
+ Note that if ``headers`` are supplied, the 'Content-Type' header will
+ be overwritten because it depends on the dynamic random boundary string
+ which is used to compose the body of the request. The random boundary
+ string can be explicitly set with the ``multipart_boundary`` parameter.
