Description

Reported via pull request: https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file-transfer/pull/6

I ran into this bug when testing an app on both iOS and Android and using Nginx as a reverse proxy to my application server. The Content-Type produced by the iOS backend is accepted just fine (with the space), but the Content-Type produced by the Android backend is rejected by Nginx as being a malformed HTTP request (a 400).
