/sendFile end point ignores 'filename' request parameter

[ehussain]

Hello,

I sent a request to /api/sendFile end point which contains following json.

(
    [json] => Array
        (
            [chatId] => xxxx@c.us
            [session] => 0c79e8f0-1bf0-11ee-aac6-4bba6cfec57f
            [type] => media
            [file] => Array
                (
                    [mimetype] => application/pdf
                    [filename] => 1688567559635.pdf
                    [url] => https://7c89-116-72-22-45.ngrok-free.app/file/r/387fc6a0-1ef5-11ee-a9e1-e12a60ff0642
                )

            [caption] => 
        )
)

note : this is php array structure but json request was successful. I got response and file on whatsapp as well.

However the whatsapp shows file with this information.

As you can see the caption and filename is not received correctly.

Expected output.
File should be received with name as '1688567559635.pdf' and without any caption.

Hi! Could you attach JSON request that can be tested in swagger directly please?
Just to make sure there's no language related serialization issue too

Hello,

Attached the exact json request I am sending. I have masked the phone number.

{"chatId":"XXXXXXXXXXXX@c.us","session":"0c79e8f0-1bf0-11ee-aac6-4bba6cfec57f","type":"media","file":{"mimetype":"application\/pdf","filename":"1688567559635.pdf","url":"https:\/\/7c89-116-72-22-45.ngrok-free.app\/file\/r\/20391ec0-1f02-11ee-b611-23762cf3fa89"},"caption":null}

I've fixed the issue with filename field - it should work now in the latest version (just published it)

About caption - he have a ticket for that already, sorry, didn't find it first time #94
It works only in NOWEB engine. Just checked - it's not ready in default (WEBJS) one yet

Let me know if filename works for you and we can close the issue (we'll work on caption in the #94)

[ehussain]

Hello. We are using 'WEBJS' engine right now. Is it available in that engine?

We have to use WEBJS to ensure that phone number doesn't get blocked.

Filename - yes, caption - not :(

Hi!
caption has been fixed in WAHA Plus 2024.3.9
Now both caption and filename should work with no issues in both WEBJS and NOWEB engine.
