Description: ------------ For post reqeusts, this fails to work as the request defaults back to "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" encoding without warning: $req->addHeader('Content-type','multipart/form-data'); This works as expected: $req->addHeader('Content-Type','multipart/form-data'); So it won't encode the post the way you expect unless you Upper-Case Content-Type. I've included a low-level fix below.

Fixed in CVS. All header names are now treated case-insensitively, per RFC 2616.
