HttpContext.Current.Request.Files[0].FileName returning blob for image files

Question

I am sending a file as part of the FormData from AngularJs to .NET Web API as follows:

AngularJS:

var cabinetFormData = new FormData();
cabinetFormData.append('file', file);

Sending the above FormData as a parameter in the service call to .Net WebAPI

.NET:

var httpRequest = HttpContext.Current.Request;
var fileRequest = httpRequest.Files[0];

While receiving the request on the server side, the fileRequest.FileName is always showing up as "blob" for any image files. Rest of the content is showing up fine. Getting proper File names for other format's like .pdf and .xml. I have checked the input, and it's sending all the formData.

What am i doing wrong ?
