Asking because I don't know much about this. When you say this:
Usually the content type [...] is detected automatically.
When is not detected? I want to better understand the scenarios where the reader needs to use this explicit content type definition.
Thanks.

When is not detected?
Actually, I'm not sure if it's actually detected at all ;-) I just had the requirement to post to an external API as multipart/form-data, but with one of those parts being JSON (application/json), and this here was the way to make it work.

If you have some time to dig into this, could you please check the exact code behavior so we can updat the documentation accordingly? Thanks a lot!
