Hi,

this seems related to https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex/issues/1203

Problem 1: When setting Content-Transfer-Encoding manually (via http:header), it will appear twice in the request that is sent

Problem 2: I cannot override base64 because it happens automatically based on the content I am sending and for some reason the web server that receives this request does not recognize the base64 encoding correctly

Regards,

Max

Hi,

I can't figure out how to send a file in binary (not base64) when using multipart [1]

On the body, I've tried method="basex" because the docs says this would write raw bytes to the request

Regards, Max

[1]

declare function _:send-multipart($url, $file-name, $path) as item()* {

let $uri := file:path-to-uri($path || $file-name) let $type := fetch:content-type($uri)

let $binary := file:read-binary($path || $file-name) let $boundary_id := concat("batch_", random:uuid())

let $req := <http:request method="post" send-authorization="false" override-media-type="text/plain">

   <http:header name="Accept" value="application/json"/>
   <http:header name="Accept-Encoding" value="gzip, deflate"/>

  <http:multipart media-type="multipart/form-data"

boundary="{$boundary_id}">

    <http:header name="Content-Transfer-Encoding" value="binary"/>
    <http:header name="Content-Disposition" value="form-data;

name='FILE'; filename='{$file-name}'"/> <http:header name="Content-Type" value="{$type}"/>

     <!-- method="basex"   method="adaptive"  ? -->
    <http:body media-type="application/octet-stream" method="binary">
      {$binary}
    </http:body>

  </http:multipart>
</http:request>

let $resp := http:send-request($req, $url) return json:parse($resp[2])

};
