We deal with content clipping and we are integrating our software into a
client�s system. The part of their system we are dealing with in this case
expects requests from the connected user, not from our software, that is
running in his name.
We are trying not to force a modification on the client�s system.

There�s a case when I have to POST a multipart form and the resulting
Content-Type header is:
Content-Type = application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content_Type = multipart/form-data

Just trying to set the header accessing the HTTP::Header data structure
