+ Note that if you wish to use the same file handle for multiple
+ ``post()`` calls then you will need to manually reset the file
+ pointer between posts. The easiest way to do this is to
+ manually close the file after it has been provided to
+ ``post()``, as demonstrated above.
+ You should also ensure that the file is opened in a way that
+ allows the data to be read. If your file contains binary data
+ such as an image, this means you will need to open the file in
+ ``rb`` (read binary) mode.
