Hi Jeff,
I'm having the same problem. According to the Flex2 documentation the
content type defaults to "application/octet-stream", but you can set
the contentType of the request:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("myURL");
request.contentType = "image/jpeg";
myFileReference.upload(request);
but I still get "application/octet-stream" in my php check.
When I do a trace before and after the assignment I get contentType =
null then contentType = "image/jpeg", but it seems to get reset during
the upload, as if contentType is hardwired in no matter what you do
with the URLRequest (otherwise wouldn't contentType be the default
"application/octet-stream" rather than null before the assignment?)
Any Adobe guys got any comments on this?
:-(
