Picase upload requires photos to have filename-extensions in lower case

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. rename a normal .jpeg photo to photo.JPEG
2. google picasa -n 'Drop Box' post photo.JPEG

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The following happens with uppercase filenames/extensions:
$ google picasa -n 'Drop Box' post hoppa.JPG 
Loading file hoppa.JPG to album Drop Box
Failed to upload hoppa.JPG. (602: Accepted content types: ['image/bmp', 
'image/jpeg', 'image/jpg', 'image/gif', 'image/png', 'image/mpeg', 
'image/mpeg4', 'image/3gpp', 'image/quicktime', 'image/mp4', 'image/x-ms-wmv', 
'image/avi'])

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? What
version of gdata-python-client (aka python-gdata)?
googlecl-0.9.9 (verified the code on googlecl-0.9.13, same issue will be there)

Please provide any additional information below.
The attach patch should resolve the issue. Instead of using the extension from 
the filename, the python module mimetypes can be used to detect the 
content_type more reliably.
