Current behavior
HttpClient Does not set boundary value for multipart form data while uploading file. Server throws this error: PHP Warning: Missing boundary in multipart/form-data POST data in Unknown on line 0
File uploaded never makes to the the backend. $_FILES is empty. Content type header looks like this : Content-Type: multipart/form-data
Expected behavior
The content type header should be something like this 👍 Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW
Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions
Just try to upload a fie to server using FormData(), you will realise. I am using laravel 5.6 as backend.
What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?
Uploading File using Multupart Formdata.

After almost being stuck for a day finally i found the issue and could fix it
the problem is really if i set content-type explicitly to form data an angular is not smart enough to remove that header before processing. I will contribute to the thirdparty library to help them fix as well. But this issue could be easily handled by angular i believe.
