Add multipart-form data to standalone client

[wsargent]

Currently the standalone client does not have built in support for multiform post. The functionality is actually in Play-WS in the main project, under https://github.com/playframework/playframework/blob/master/framework/src/play-ahc-ws/src/main/java/play/libs/ws/ahc/AhcWSRequest.java#L44

Because the goal of the standalone client is not to have a dependencies on Play, we'll have to copy it and add it as BodyWritable and BodyReadable:

@wsargent, and when the library will be updated (with added support of multipart form data)

@wsargent I'm also very interested in this feature. Any update? :)

Hi, @maximiliancsuk.

No updates yet, sorry about it. Do you have time to submit a PR here?

Hey all,

I am also wondering if there will be any traction on this anytime soon? Or is there a well documented work around in the mean-time perhaps?

@AndrewZurn the workaround is to use play-ahc-ws (that is, the WS library with Play extensions).

It seems it's still not the case now (using 2.0.3 version), any plan to work on this ?

Would be very interested to see this resolved.
Also, is there any good documentation on the workaround anywhere? This seems like a common usecase and the issue remains unaddressed since 2017

any update for supporting mult-part data form？
