Public bug reported:


We are using forms.FileField to upload a client local file. 

We noticed that if the file size is big, for example 7 gb,  Horizon
dumps a temp file in /tmp dir where horizon server runs. If the file
loaded is different each time, the temp files are left in the /tmp. Over
the long run, it could overflow the disk spaces.

We would like to have a way to clean up the tmp file once file loading
is done.

The way that we use to get the file handle  in the form's clean or
handle method is :

f = self.request.FILES['file"]

If we use this to get the file size in the clean method to validate, the
whole file gets loaded either into memory or to temp dir,  it would be
nice to get the file size without loading the whole file.
