Description
Sending FormData with file fields shuld result in content-type "multipart/form-data". JQuery set it to "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" which is wrong. content-type header should be left alone in such cases so xhr object will set it to a proper "multipart/form-data" + proper boundary, by him self.
FormData is experimental stuff so I dont care if it is not supported. The real problem here is ther is no way to say to jquery to not set content-type header.
I am refering to this :
if ( s.data || origSettings && origSettings.contentType ) { xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", s.contentType); }
As long as there is some data to send jquery will set something in Content-Type, this is good, but there should be a way to override this...
When I am talking about FormData I refere to this : FormData

I forgot to mention, please reopen with further information if I misunderstood the request.
There is a way to override it. You can pass
contentType: "multipart/form-data"
in the $.ajax options or put it in $.ajaxSettings so it will be used for all subsequent requests.
