Description
When uploading a different file type, e.g. overwriting something.jpg with something.png, it won’t actually work and the original image remains, but the server happily responds with a 201. I understand it failing, but it should tell me in the response.

Reproduce the PUT request that overwrites a .jpg with a .png and inspect the response alongside the unchanged original file. The work is done when this failed overwrite no longer returns 201 and instead reports the failure clearly.
