[GMG-Devel] [PATCH 1/3] Change API filename upload using custom header

[Romain Porte]

When uploading a file using the API its same is always going to be
'unknown.<extension>', which is not good looking for file urls. This
patch proposes a custom header named 'X-File-Name' that allows to
specify a file name using an API client.

This changeset was tested with a local OAuth1 client.
