First of all, you get the file as a "ZPublisher.HTTPRequest.FileUpload"
instance.
Such an instance behaves like a file (you have the typical
Python file operations: "read", "seek", "tell", ...).
In addition, they have additional attributes which inform
about the HTTP context: "filename" (the name of the file
uploaded) and "headers" (maybe similar -- view the source!)
with the MIME headers associated with this file.
