Jmeter proxy server doesn't capture file upload request

Question

I was trying to capture a file upload request from the Jmeter's proxy server but while uploading the file error message was displayed. I had already configured the proxy.binary.types property to application/x-amf,application/x-java-serialized-object,application/octet-stream,application/vnd.ms-excel.

Below is the error message displayed on UI:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: employee_template.xls (The system cannot find the file specified)
