POST requests : file upload (multipart/form-data)

[rsertelon]

Allow users to send files via POST requests using AHC zero copy capability => available

We want to simulate a form with file upload.

No idea how to build a request with multipart/form-data.

I asked on AHC mailing list if there were any resources, still waiting...

It seems to be quite with AHC easy actually :
new RequestBuilder()
...
.addHeader("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data")
.addBodyPart(new StringPart("foo", "bar"))
.addBodyPart(new StringPart("baz", "qux"))
.addBodyPart(new com.ning.http.client.FilePart(new File("a_file").name, new File("a_file"), "text/plain", "UTF-8"))
