Well, as said, it works with Konqueror. I also managed to get my hand on a 
Windows box with Firefox 1.0.7 works also fine. Even IE was doing the right 
things. Thats why I don't think it is the web server.
Afaik, for the upload the client/browser has to set the mimetype. Wouldn't 
make much sense the other way round since every content is some sort of 
octetstream.

Cheers
Jochen
