problem with replace_datafile

[albenard]

I use pydataverse and it’s very nice but i have a problem when i use api.replace_datafile. I describe the problem :
In all case (upload or replace) i have this code :
df = DataFile()
df.set(
{"pid": doi_ds,"filename": chemin_fichier,"categories":["Data"],"forceReplace":"true"})

1. I upload a file with this line : resultat_upload = api.upload_datafile(doi_ds, df.filename, df.json())
   It’s ok and Dataverse detect the type of file (for example MS Word for a docx file)
2. I would to replace the file with this code : resultat_remplace = api.replace_datafile(identifier=pid_fichier, filename=chemin_fichier,
   json_str=df.json(), is_filepid=True)
   I have an error message : b'{"status":"ERROR","message":"The original file (MS Word) and replacement file (Plain Text) are different file types."}'
   It’s the same thing with other extension file (for example .xyz) when Dataverse is able to fix a type of file (for view tools i suppose).

api.replace_datafile don’t fix the content-type and Dataverse make the job but for replacing there is a bug. I understand in the code of dataverse that i can force but "forceReplace" :"true" has no effect. With native API in curl there is no problem.
Can you help me.
Thanks for advance.
I can give some detail if necessary or make test.
