Setting Content - Boundary in a XMLHttpRequest object

[karthik Suryanarayanan]

Hi Guys,
Please help me out how to set content boundary for the Content-Type ( multipart/form-data ) in the setRequestHeader method of XMLHttpRequest object . I have two forms in my jsp wherein i use one form for making an Ajax call to upload a file while my other form carries all the input fields which are being used in my mvc architecture.

Without setting RequestHeader in XMLHttpRequest object , is there a way where content type reaches my servlet ?

How do normal forms submit contenttypes and headers by default to Servlets ?

Ajax cannot be used for file uploads.

(If you are using jQuery and its form plugin, it can appear as if it can, but jQuery is using an iframe behind the curtain.)

I just used a seperate JSP which contains only form where ENCTYPE i have declared as multipart/form-data and submitted the entire page to a servlet rather than an Ajax call. This solved my problems of getting content type & bounday values properly .
