It is about files uploaded in html multipart/form-data form. Here goes capture from Live HTTP headers. --- POST /somepath/src/compose.php HTTP/1.1 ... Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=---------------------------6716000612076580265981341304 Content-Length: 24676 .... Content-Disposition: form-data; name="attachfile"; filename="sample.docx" Content-Type: application/octet-stream ... HTTP/1.x 200 OK ... --- My webserver does not know anything about docx and sample.docx is attached as application/octet-stream.
