why my request.getContentType() got problem?

843840Jan 28 2008 — edited Jan 29 2008
Below is my code, I can upload files, but I cannot differentiate the file type using getContentType

My contentType is always multipart/form-data; boundary=---------------------------27292155374832

Why is it so?
Thank you for your help!
