Aspera-On-Cloud, set 'content-type' parameter for Azure blob uploads

When we attach an Azure blob storage to the IBM managed Aspera-On-Cloud, any uploads using Aspera Desktop client connected to the AOC, will get the default 'content-type' parameter in Azure blob storage.


Setup:

IBM managed AOC node with Azure blob storage configured.

Aspera desktop client connected to IBM Managed AOC for uploading to the Azure blob storage.

Example:

If you upload a MP4 file, the content-type on Azure blob storage will show the default value i.e. 'application/octet-stream' instead of 'video/mp4'


Idea:

IBM AOC should set the content-type parameter of the file while it uploads to Azure blob storage.


Additional information:

Checking online in other forums shows that other users face this issue when the application uploading the content does not set the 'content-type' parameter in its API call to Azure blob storage. The content-type if not specified defaults to 'application/octet-stream'.
