https://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.5.1/libdoc/net/http/rdoc/Net/HTTP.html claims that At this time Net::HTTP does not support multipart/form-data.. According to stackoverflow ( https://stackoverflow.com/a/45976252/781743 ) this should be supported since 1.9.3 via the Net::HTTPHeader#set_form method. This patch adjust documentation to be in line with that.

Backport to all still supported rubies would be nice.
