Dio: Setting and sending the right content type of file.

[aleksander351]

Steps to Reproduce

I want to upload images or multiple different file types, like .pdf, .doc and .jpg

By default, the file type is mimetype: 'application/octet-stream'.
Even if I set contentType: ContentType('image', 'jpeg') in options, application/octet-stream gets saved as content-type.

How can I set the content type of the uploaded files automatically to the right content type.
All file upload plugins I have been using for web and mobile development, could get the right content type from the file and I did not need to set it manually.

Am I missing something?

 UploadFileInfo(file, fileName, contentType: ContentType('image', 'jpeg'))

I used package:mime/mime.dart to get the mime type of the file and then inserted it into UploadFileInfo, like you suggested.
