HttpRequest.GET A dictionary-like object containing all given HTTP GET parameters. See the QueryDict documentation below.

HttpRequest.FILES A dictionary-like object containing all uploaded files. Each key in FILES is the name from the <input type="file" name="" />. Each value in FILES is an UploadedFile. See Managing files for more information. Note that FILES will only contain data if the request method was POST and the <form> that posted to the request had enctype="multipart/form-data".

Useful if you know the form data is not in the DEFAULT_CHARSET encoding.
