Hi @chebyte,

I must confess I don't personally use the multipart upload middleware, however I'd try with the below:

json = {
  listing: {
    tickets: [
      {
        row: 'X',
        seat: '201',
        name: 'file1'
      },
      {
        row: 'X',
        seat: '202',
        name: 'file2'
      }
    ]
  }
}

payload = {
  listing: JSON.dump(json),
  file1: Faraday::UploadIO.new(file1_path, file1_content_type)
  file2: Faraday::UploadIO.new(file2_path, file2_content_type)
}

conn = Faraday.new(url) do |f|
  f.request :multipart
  f.request :json
  f.adapter :net_http
end

conn.post(path, payload)

There will be some variables you'll need to set which I'm not able to infer: url, path, file1_path, file1_content_type, file2_path, file2_content_type.
Please give it a try and let me know the result, we can then see from there how to improve to get what you need 👍

I understand that this issue has been closed, but please help with the issue I am having which is close to this one.

Below is what I need to upload

-data-binary $'

------WebKitFormBoundaryInmulX6ait6ZMLdu\r\n
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="message"; filename="blob"\r\n
Content-Type: application/json
{
 "title":"title of the message to be sent",
 "body":"body of the message to be sent",
 "attachedFileName":null,
 "attachedFileName2":null,
 "attachedFileName3":null,
 "recipientIdList":[186554]
}
 ------WebKitFormBoundaryInmulX6ait6ZMLdu--\r\n' --compressed

Please note content type that the server receives is multipart/form-data

my current code looks like below:

client = Faraday::Connection.new(url: BASE_URL) do |builder|
    builder.use :cookie_jar
    builder.use :multipart
    builder.use :url_encoded
    builder.adapter :net_http
end

message = {title: "title", body: "body of message", recipientIdList:[186554]}
payload = {message: JSON.dump(message}

response = @client.post(URL) do |request|
    request.headers['Content-Type'] = 'multipart/form-data'
    request.body = payload
end

However, the response I get from the server is {"success"=>false, "errorCode"=>nil, "message"=>"Content type 'application/octet-stream' not supported", "data"=>nil}

I tweaked the code little by little and tried again, and searched google for hours but could not find solution.
It would be greatly appreciated if someone can help me with this.
Thank you in advance :D
