For AngularJS SDK users... In case you would like to use generated methods like Container.upload(), you might want to add a line to configure the method in lb-services.js to set Content-Type headers to undefined. This would allow client to set Content-Type headers and add boundary value automatically. Would look something like this:

 "upload": {
    url: urlBase + "/containers/:container/upload",
    method: "POST",
    headers: {"Content-Type": undefined}
