Different content-type when uploading using input field and drag'n'drop

[ukasiu]

Hi,
when uploading simple csv file on Chrome/Debian using $upload.upload and file input field I get Content-Type: text/csv in the request to a server, whilst using $upload.upload and drag'n'drop for the same file I get Content-Type: application/octet-stream.

Is that a known issue? Is it possible to override Content-Type when uploading using $upload.upload?

If you use $upload.upload() the content-type of the request being sent to the server will always be multipart/form-data.

I don't mean the content-type of the request, but the content-type of uploaded file declared in the request.

What do you mean by uploaded file declared in the request? Can you send the snapshot of what you see in the request.

That's what I get when sending by input field:

That's what I get when sending by drag'n'drop (now on Windows, same thing happens):

Fixed in version 1.6.1.
That is probably a bug in chrome file drop webkitGetAsEntry().file() which doesn't return the correct type for the file. In this version I am using the regular evt.dataTransfer.files if the dropped item is not a directory. So this bug would still be present in Chrome if you drop a directory.

Thanks a lot.
