Description

When uploading a file using WebHDFS the Namenode web UI, it will set the content type to application/x-www-form-urlencoded, as this is the default used by jQuery

https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/160b9fc3c9255024c00d487b7fcdf5ea59a42781/hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs/src/main/webapps/hdfs/explorer.js#L516

This causes knox to urlencode the request body so that uploading a CVS file 1,2,3 will result 1%2C2%2C3.

Instead of application/x-www-form-urlencoded I think the encoding should be set to application/octet-stream.
