a potential resolution to tootsuite/mastodon#3804, achieved by not encouraging people to use upload methods without filenames my rationale for this being the right solution is that it brings it to parity with the media upload method, which has already proven to be enough for library developers to understand. it should be enough that, early in the docs, it says that 'When a file parameter is mentioned, a form-encoded upload is expected.' i wouldn't mind so much if the base64 upload method didn't expose such an insidious bug, but even if it didn't, it seems reasonable to want to encourage developers to upload all media in a consistent way
