Thank you so much for your suggestions! The error is indeed in my code, specifically in a MultipartRequest-related class that I downloaded from JavaPro magazine. I never suspected this code because I didn't write it. I guess there is a bug in their code that I now have to investigate that; at least I now know the source of the problem!
