Description Sebb 2011-01-28 20:52:41 UTC

JMeter currently follows the RFCs and creates multi-part headers of the form:

-----------------------------7d159c1302d0y0
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="PARAM"
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

However, many browse only provide the following:

-----------------------------7d159c1302d0y0
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="PARAM"

Further, some broken servers reject the valid Content-Type and CTE headers.

It would be useful to be able to optionally operate Multipart Posts in browser-compatible mode.
