#11159 closed (fixed)

Test client encode_file doesn't set content-type properly

Description

The test client doesn't properly set the content-type when uploading files. It hard-codes the content-type value to to 'application/octet-stream'. This makes it difficult to test that code that relies on a specific content-type being set.

The encode_file method could be easily changed to make use of mimetypes.guess_type to make a best guess attempt to set a content-type, falling back to the default 'application/octet-stream'.

I've attached a patch that does this.

I am using this patch so I can test my form that takes a zip file. I have a clean method that validates the content type and application/octet-stream is valid type for me.
