Grails file upload not using correct content-type

I created a file upload in Grails, but I can't find a way to get the request to use Content-Type:multipart/form-data. The requests are being sent with Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

This is my form

        <g:uploadForm controller='asset' action='upload'>
            <label>Select file(s) to upload</label>
            <input type='file' id='fileUpload' name='filesToUpload' multiple />
            <g:submitButton name="upload" value="Upload"/>
        </g:uploadForm>

In Config.groovy, grails.mime.types contains multipartForm: 'multipart/form-data' and grails.web.disable.multipart=false. I am using Spring Security, and the AssetsController is @Secured.

How do I get the requests to be sent with Content-Type:multipart/form-data?

if the <g:uploadForm >-Tag does not what's described in the manual:

http://grails.github.io/grails-doc/2.5.x/ref/Tags/uploadForm.html

Identical to the standard form tag except that it sets the enctype attribute to "multipart/form-data" automatically.

then you could try to use the normal <g:form >-Tag and add the enctype attribute or even don't use the tag at all. A simple HTML-Upload will work, too:

<form action="${g:createLink controller:'', action:''}" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <input type="file" name="fileupload">
    <input type="submit" name="upload">
</form>
