    /**
     Configures the URL request for `multipart/form-data`. The request's `httpBody` is set, and a value is set for the HTTP header field `Content-Type`.
     
     - Parameter parameters: The form data to set.
     - Parameter encoding: The encoding to use for the keys and values.
     
     - Throws: `MultipartFormDataEncodingError` if any keys or values in `parameters` are not entirely in `encoding`.
     
     - Note: The default `httpMethod` is `GET`, and `GET` requests do not typically have a response body. Remember to set the `httpMethod` to e.g. `POST` before sending the request.
