Description

When you want to send files using HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE it seems that the Content-Type is ignored. It seems that the browsers( tested with firefox and Internet explorer) are sending the content-type header only for files.
It seems that some sites are sensitive about this issue and they choose the content-type for a file as a text/plain in case I don't specify one.
