It appears that cgi.FieldStorage does not handle 
Content-Disposition with filenames with defined encoding.
(according to RFC5987)

Example:
'''
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename*=utf-8''upload_test_file_%C5%82%C3%B3%C4%85%C3%A4.txt
'''

The way to reproduce this is to either try to parse above or
write a tiny webapp using a web framework that uses CGI for handling
file uploads (webpy) and try to upload a file using `requests` - or any library that uses urllib3 for building POST with multipart/form-data.
