Use of FormData

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create an XhrIO object
2. Use a FormData as content
3. Send the request as POST

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
When using the new FormData interface 
(http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest2/#the-formdata-interface) as opt_content 
for an XhrIo request, the check for content type header on line 500 on xhrio.js 
changes the expected value from  something such as 
"Content-Type:multipart/form-data; 
boundary=----WebKitFormBoundaryiwvuYZNwHL2wl5sB" to 
"Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=utf-8" and the web 
server is unable to process the request.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Tested using Chrome and Firefox.

Please provide any additional information below.
Setting the "Content-Type" header as null completely removes it from the 
request.

Is it true that your content object will be an instance of window.FormData?  
Would it be sufficient to put that check in?

In any case, this should be taken into accoun in the design of labs' new XHR

>a = new FormData()
>a instanceof window.FormData
>> true

It would suffice for this one case, but I would recommend taking a look at the 
different possibilities for sending data, FormData is not the only valid object 
type:
