[mono-android] System.Net.WebClient.UploadFileAsync Problem

[subsembly]

Hi all,

just when I thought all troubles with WebClient are gone, I encountered a
new one. This time the compatibility problem is with the
WebClient.UploadFileAsync() method. When using this method in order to
upload a file, the other end receives a binary stream wrapped as follows
(example):

--------------8cea4d9249390f8
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="Android.sub"
Content-Type: application/octet-stream

[...actual file data...]

--------------8cea4d9249390f8--

However, in the real Windows .NET Framework the very same method transmits
the net file data, without wrapping it like a form data post. Hence our old
Windows file uploading code actually corrupts files when uploading from Mono
for Android.

BTW: I also tried this same with MonoTouch, which behaves exactly like Mono
for Android.

Best regards,

Andreas
