Description
The REST v2 /media endpoint reference at https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/reference/media/#create-a-media-item would benefit from a mention of file content upload mechanics. The first technique documented in this gist I found:
https://gist.github.com/ahmadawais/0ccb8a32ea795ffac4adfae84797c19a
(set the 'Content-Disposition' HTTP header field to 'form-data; filename="thefile.jpg"' and send the file's content as the HTTP body data) ended up working for me, but it would be helpful to have official documentation on this embedded in or linked from the /media endpoint reference.

Hi @tstephens,
Welcome to Trac! Documentation for the WP-API developer reference is handled in GitHub. Would you mind opening an issue there?
Thank you, @TimothyBlynJacobs! I've filed https://github.com/WP-API/docs/issues/129 there, so this ticket can indeed be closed. Sorry for starting this out in the wrong system!
