  "files": {},

If you do the same with curl

$ curl -X POST http://httpbin.org/post -d 'user=jiro&password=123456'
{
  "args": {}, 
  "data": "", 
  "files": {}, 
  "form": {
    "password": "123456", 
    "user": "jiro"
  },

  }, 
  "json": null, 
  "origin": "180.3.100.78", 
  "url": "http://httpbin.org/post"
