Ok, I got it figured out:
Interestingly enough, create_object works just fine. update_object, as
you've noted, doesn't.
The reason is that in a Django 'request' object, any data concerning
files is kept in request.FILES, while the rest of the POST data is
kept in request.POST.
In the create_object view, they do this:
new_data = request.POST.copy()
if model._meta.has_field_type(FileField):
new_data.update(request.FILES)
However, the update_object view does NOT do that. It simply does:
new_data = request.POST.copy()
and leaves it at that. That means there's no possible way for Django
to get access to the file info. If I add the 'model._meta.has_fie...'
check to update_object, then everything works fine.
I don't know if this was on purpose, or if it was simply forgotten,
but I suggest you walk over to the desk of whoever wrote that, and
smack them on the head :)
