Uploading using UploadContentServlet [Solved]

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

I'm trying to upload a file using org.alfresco.web.app.servlet.UploadContentServlet as described in
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/URL_Addressability#UploadContentServlet. The upload is a success, but the content is not the one I planned to upload:

Uploading a text file containing

Hello World

results in a file containing:

–ntFc1CtoJLgJ94PK6EIn_3Dm8HX7nXBzL
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="test.txt"
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Hello World
–ntFc1CtoJLgJ94PK6EIn_3Dm8HX7nXBzL–

The code I'm using (with the help of Apache HttpClient) is (the snippet actually updates an existing document)

 public static void main(String[] args) {
    String fileName = args[0];
    String URL = "http://localhost:8080/alfresco/upload/workspace/SpacesStore/71ee6b00-c473-4fe1-be97-40bc5d6cf80f/";
    PutMethod filePost = null;
    HttpClient client = null;
    try {
      String ticket = getTicket();
      filePost = new PutMethod(URL+fileName+"?ticket="+ticket);
      File mFile = new File(fileName);
      FilePartSource fileSource = new FilePartSource(mFile);
      Part[] parts = {
          new FilePart(fileName, fileSource)
      };
      filePost.setRequestEntity(
          new MultipartRequestEntity(parts, filePost.getParams())
      );
      client = new HttpClient();
      client.getHttpConnectionManager().getParams().setConnectionTimeout(5000);
      int status = client.executeMethod(filePost);
      if (status == HttpStatus.SC_OK) {
        System.out.println("Upload success");
      } else {
        System.out.println("Upload failed: " + HttpStatus.getStatusText(status));
      }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Did I miss something important?
Thanks in advance

p.s. If you need the full code I may provide id as well

The problem was I thought that the servlet looked for Multipart HTTP PUT, as described in http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc1341/7_2_Multipart.html
Instead, it uses the request content as-is, so I should modify

 FilePartSource fileSource = new FilePartSource(mFile);
      Part[] parts = {
          new FilePart(fileName, fileSource)
      };
      filePost.setRequestEntity(
          new MultipartRequestEntity(parts, filePost.getParams())
      );

With

filePost.setRequestBody(new FileInputStream(mFile));
