Provide a post() method on WS for POSTing multipart/form-data

[julien-lafont]

There is actually no way to post a multipart/form-data, without encoding manually the body (and this is tricky!)

It's sad to not have a WS method which allow to call a controller like the "File upload example"

[ryanoglesby08]

This functionality would be very helpful. Agreed.

A method as part of FakeRequest that is something along the lines of "fakeRequest().withMultipartFormData(formData);" would help immensely with testing controllers using multipart form data.

Another strong vote for this feature. I've closed the other issue #1302 in favour of this one.

In the meantime, here is a workaround that was greatly inspired by some code in Play

import com.ning.http.client.{Response => AHCResponse, _}
import play.api.libs.ws._
import play.api.libs.ws.ning.NingWSResponse
import scala.concurrent.{Future, Promise}
import play.api.Play.current

  object WSUtil {

    def post(url: String, bodyParts: List[Part]): Future[Response] = {
      val client = WS.client(current).underlying.asInstanceOf[AsyncHttpClient]

      val builder = client.preparePost(url)

      builder.setHeader("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data")
      bodyParts.foreach(builder.addBodyPart)

      var result = Promise[NingWSResponse]()

      client.executeRequest(builder.build(), new AsyncCompletionHandler[AHCResponse]() {
        override def onCompleted(response: AHCResponse) = {
          result.success(NingWSResponse(response))
          response
        }

        override def onThrowable(t: Throwable) = {
          result.failure(t)
        }
      })

      result.future

Simpler solution, based on http://stackoverflow.com/a/18723326/333643:

(I'm calling the mailgun API)

// Use the Ning AsyncHttpClient multipart class to get the bytes
val parts = Array[Part](
      new StringPart("from", from),
      new StringPart("to", to),
      new StringPart("subject", subject),
      new StringPart("text", text),
      new FilePart("attachment", file)
    )
    val mpre = new MultipartRequestEntity(parts, new FluentCaseInsensitiveStringsMap)
    val baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream
    mpre.writeRequest(baos)
    val bytes = baos.toByteArray
    val contentType = mpre.getContentType

// Now just send the data to the WS API
    client.url(endpoint)
      .post(bytes)(Writeable.wBytes, ContentTypeOf(Some(contentType)))

I would have liked to be able to create implicit Writeable and ContentTypeOf instances for MultipartRequestEntity. Unfortunately however, their API is based on the assumption of one content type per typeclass instance (i.e. it would have to be the same for all MultipartRequestEntity instances).

However since it has to include the boundary value, this assumption is broken. If the typeclass could wrap an A => Option[String] rather than just an Option[String], we could just have an implicit Writeable[MultipartRequstEntity] etc.

Is there any plan to fix this? this will simplify things to a great extent (without this supported out of the box, sending a multipart request is very tedious).

[cdmckay]

I wrote a Writeable to use the existing MultipartFormData object for POSTing multipart form data:

https://gist.github.com/cdmckay/4b269e9017a30111556a

And here's an example of usage:

https://gist.github.com/cdmckay/5f05cbcb5327259df1cf

So you just need to drop it in and it should work with the existing WS flow.

@cdmckay : is there a solution to observe the progression of the upload ?
Currently I'm using scalaj-http for this purpose (https://github.com/scalaj/scalaj-http) but I would like to switch to Play WS in order to avoid extra dependencies and use asynchronous requests.

@ergomesh yes I was able to make this work in 2.4. I had to forcibly override my async http client version to 1.9.29, and then I did:

https://gist.github.com/brianwawok/eb9ac542eb7b4795ac06

A few things like

"Content-Type" -> mpre.getContentType)

were key, because I needed to add back in the boundary (which was lost in the play upgrade)

Actually all the solutions here would be missing the ending, i.e:
Something like that:
--BRY7v0J3h3fIl91lUeQ6SxMJWqNHbRYi4Exp2C3s--

What would actually work is using the asyncHttpClient.preparePost().addBodyPart funtionallity i.e.:

val asyncHttpClient: AsyncHttpClient = ws.client.underlying

        val postBuilder = asyncHttpClient.preparePost(url).addBodyPart(filePart).addBodyPart(textPart)
          .addHeader(AUTHORIZATION, s"Basic $auth")
        val request = postBuilder.build()

        val result = Promise[NingWSResponse]()
        asyncHttpClient.executeRequest(request, new AsyncCompletionHandler[AHCResponse]() {
          override def onCompleted(response: AHCResponse) = {
            result.success(NingWSResponse(response))
            response
          }

          override def onThrowable(t: Throwable) = {
            result.failure(t)
          }
        })
        result.future

Not sure if a Writeable has access to that. I'm looking forward to maybe add a PR.

What would actually work is using the asyncHttpClient.preparePost().addBodyPart funtionallity i.e.:

val asyncHttpClient: AsyncHttpClient = ws.client.underlying

        val postBuilder = asyncHttpClient.preparePost(url).addBodyPart(filePart).addBodyPart(textPart)
          .addHeader(AUTHORIZATION, s"Basic $auth")
        val request = postBuilder.build()

        val result = Promise[NingWSResponse]()
        asyncHttpClient.executeRequest(request, new AsyncCompletionHandler[AHCResponse]() {
          override def onCompleted(response: AHCResponse) = {
            result.success(NingWSResponse(response))
            response
          }

          override def onThrowable(t: Throwable) = {
            result.failure(t)
          }
        })
        result.future

Not sure if a Writeable has access to that. I'm looking forward to maybe add a PR.

Actually it would be great if somebody could help me with the PR on tests.

Actually I've left out the documentation since I'm not sure if it's good to either have something like .post(Seq(part1, part2)) and on the Java part a List. Actually maybe somebody from the core team could give me some hints.

Edit: Too bad this prolly won't go into 2.5. Actually I came too late across this.

Maybe we can can still get this into 2.5?

@mkurz At this point there should be no problem getting it into 2.5. It would only be an issue if there are major API changes.

That would be great. I actually came across this since we are sending data to another provider which uses insecure SSL, so using the underlying AhcClient takes more work than just fixing this issue..

Could it be possible to have access to onContentWriteProgress callback or is it too complicated to interface it with the Play API ?
https://asynchttpclient.github.io/async-http-client/apidocs/com/ning/http/client/AsyncCompletionHandler.html#onContentWriteProgress%28long,%20long,%20long%29

This would be a very useful feature !

Do you have any tip to monitor the upload progress ?
Do I have to use the underlying client to achieve that ?
I was thinking about using reactive streams to be informed periodically about the upload progress update.
Thanks !

Is there any workaround for multipart/form-data for play 2.5?
