Incorrect 'UploadedFile' attributes on 'Request and response objects' page

Description

The description of the FILES attribute of HttpRequest objects (at ​http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/request_response/#attributes) is incorrect:

*
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 object containing the following attributes:

  • read(num_bytes=None) — Read a number of bytes from the file.
  • file_name — The name of the uploaded file.
  • file_size — The size, in bytes, of the uploaded file.
  • chunk() — A generator that yields sequential chunks of data.

*

The attributes file_name and file_size are actually called name and size.

Thanks for the report. Also note that the chunks() method takes an 's'.
