Uploading multipart/form-data with Boundary #199

unbalancedparentheses · 2014-01-30T16:21:03Z

I couldn't find a way of uploading a multipart/form-data file that has a particular Boundary.

In curl I would do:
curl -vX POST http://localhost:4000/images -u 13:13 -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data; Boundary=---XXX---" --data-binary @multipart

Is this supported by httpie?

Thanks in advance

It isn't supported by httpie likely because it isn't directly supported by requests (not in a nice way at least).

@pyotrgalois Does the ./multipart file contains the payload including the boundary? If yes, then you can use this command to upload the data from the file and specify the boundary in the Content-Type header:

$ http -v localhost:4000/images \
    'Content-Type: multipart/form-data; Boundary=---XXX---'  < ./multipart

NOTES: * Httpie does not currently support setting the content type for each part in a multipart form -- these multipart types are currently ignored. See: httpie/cli#199 httpie/cli#271 httpie/cli#285 httpie/cli#398 * There is an issue with specifying piped input for multipart form data. There is no way currently to specify the data without specifying a filename parameter in the Content-Disposition. For now, this is ignored. See: httpie/cli#342

This commit adds support for generating a snippet that contains the HTTPie command for the request. As the snippet does not require any additional configuration, it has added to the existing default snippets.
