I sent a POST request to https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/w/api.php
with the following (relevant) message headers and body; the ****'s indicate
where I have obscured or omitted content that shouldn't affect this issue:

The API returned the error message:
{"error":
{"code": "missingparam",
"info": "One of the parameters sessionkey, file, url, enablechunks is
required"
}
}
The parameter "file" actually was present in the input, so the error message is
inexplicable. Clearly, something is wrong but I cannot tell whether it is in
the server or the client.
