When trying to upload a file using request.post and MultipartEncoder, is it possible that the upload is bad and results in inconsistency between the original file and the received file? Do I need to do any integrity or validity check?

HTTP is usually used over TCP:
An HTTP client initiates a request by establishing a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection HTTP Wikipedia
only some specific versions use UDP (see Wikipedia Article). TCP itself uses checksum fields to ensure correct transmission:
To assure correctness a checksum field is included TCP Wikipedia
So sending the file over HTTP results in a proper transmission and prevents inconsistencies between the original and the received file.
The Library you use should not have an impact on that. So if you use a standard library (as you do) it won’t.

Aye, if he's having issues he needs to look at encoding and decoding at each end. – OmegaOdie Jan 25 '21 at 11:20
