I have verified that, and the browser sends the empty upload field, with no 
content, like:

-----------------------------7da3d8a106ce

Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename=""

Content-Type: application/octet-stream



-----------------------------7da3d8a106ce



So after the MIME header there is no content, but the header with the name 
of the field ("file") is sent to the server.
