I have an AppEngine application that uses the blobstore to store user-provided image data. When I upload images to that application from a form in Chrome it works fine. When I try to upload an image from an Android application it fails. Both methods work fine if I am running against the development server, but the Android upload doesn't work against the live service.
This is the request from Chrome:

This is the request from my client (which is written in Java on Android, but I don't think that's relevant):

In both cases the AppEngine Python code to catch the request is the same:
class UploadPuzzle( blobstore_handlers.BlobstoreUploadHandler ):
def post(self):
upload_files = self.get_uploads( )
The problem is that when running on the production AppEngine service self.get_uploads() returns an empty list when the request is made from my client app. Both requests return what I expect (a list with one blob_info in it) on the development server, and Chrome returns what I expect in both cases.
