Option to remove "charset=UTF-8" from Content-Type header

See original GitHub issue

Currently I’m using

fileUploadResponse = Unirest.post("https://httpbin.org/post")
  .field("key", "keyname")
  .field("name", "Testname")
  .field("type", "testtype")
  .field("file", file, "Testfile.testtype")
  .asString();

to upload a file as a POST request.

Because it adds “charset=UTF-8” in the Content-Type header the request could not be processed. So I have to use and very old version in gradle : "group: 'com.mashape.unirest', name: 'unirest-java', version: '1.4.9'" to fix this issue.

Is it possible to add an option to remove the encoding parameter in Content-Type header?

Just had the same issue with PHP-based backed not pulling attachment into $_FILES unless I remove charset from Content-type. Please add something more obvious instead of null, like .noCharset()
