[jira] [Commented] (HTTPCLIENT-1332) Missing content-type MultipartEntity Request

["Victor Freire (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1332?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13619714#comment-13619714 ] 

Victor Freire commented on HTTPCLIENT-1332:
-------------------------------------------

Sorry about that, I hadn't looked the BROWSER_COMPATIBLE  flag up in the JavaDocs. 

It didn't cross my mind that some web servers would want the Content-Type to be omitted.

In my opinion, a warning when the content-type of a part was different than 'plain/text' and BROWSER_COMPATIBLE was being used would be nice to avoid this misunderstanding.

Thanks for the quick solution!
