posting with formdata not working

[flogball00]

tried doing something like

var fileData = new FormData();
      fileData.append("File1", file);

return axios({
                    method: 'post',
                    url: response.data.ChunkUri,
                    data: fileData,

                });

this returned an error from the server saying that there was no file sent. But...

vs jquery which worked and the file uploaded successfully.

                var options = {
                    type: "POST",
                    url: response.data.ChunkUri,
                    data: fileData,
                    cache: false,
                    contentType: false,
                    processData: false,
                    success: function(e){
                            console.log("YAY:: " + e);
                    },
                    error: function(a){
                        console.log("failed:: ");
                    }

                };
                return $.ajax(options);

Can you put "not working" into detail?

@flogball00 are you still having this problem?

[flogball00]

Yep, both axios and superagent were not able to transmit the filename. When i looked at the request payload, i would get something like "Content-Disposition: form-data; name="File1"; filename=""

[mzabriskie]

Odd. I'll have to look into jQuery's source, and see what's different.

@flogball00: Have you tried to use the third argument for formData suppling the filename?

Any updates on this?

[nickuraltsev]

As @kalaspuffar pointed out, filename can be passed as the third parameter to FormData#append:

fileData.append("File1", file, "file.js");

@nickuraltsev's answer in #318 (comment) really helped me out.

[besabellacyrus]

@ConAntonakos that is the solution to my problem.

@ConAntonakos Would be great if you could share how you adjusted your code in the end. Working on passing data with .append now as well as it won't with my regular setup.
