how to read a file using ajax and django?

My Ajax code:

var upfile = $("#file-id").val().split(/[\/\\]/).pop();
$.ajax({
    type: 'POST',
    url: '/upload/',
    data:{"upfile":upfile},
    success: function(data) {
    if (data['success'] === "true") {

    }
    },
    dataType: 'json'
   });
    return false;

Django code: In simple form submit action request.FILES.get('upfile') works. I can read the content of file using read() But in ajax, it is not working. even request.POST.get('upfile') gives me the filename string.

How to solve this issue?

It's normal, by default a form submitted with Ajax will not upload files. You need o have a look to some file upload jquery plugins (there's a few of them, I can not suggest one as I did not try any of these yet)
