Missing start boundary with jersey 2.15 with WebKit browser (Chrome, Safari)

Question

I have a java application with netty et jersey 2.15. I tried to upload a file with a multi part form.

<form id="data" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="http://localhost/api/upload">>
        Profile Image: <input name="file" type="file" /><br />
        <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

It's work with Firefox and IE but it's not work with Chrome or Safari

NB. Chrome and Safari use Webkit.

See the data on Firefox (Same on IE)

I found the problem. A colleague transform the content-type of every request with a lowercase in the netty implementation. The none WebKit browser use a random numeric boundary but WebKit browser use an alpha numeric boundary with upper and lower case character.
