Hello,

Using PB 2022 R3

Need to a call API which sends a file along with other parameters.   It could be successfully sent from Postman using form-data, where there is an option to enter text or select a file option.  

Now need to send the same using HTTPClient.  

The last one document_file is actually a file name from local storage.  There is an option to select the file in Postman.  WHen I tried to hard-code the full file name,

Thanks mike S While googling I found a solution given by one of the community members [ Clint Maxwell ], here in his comment https://community.appeon.com/index.php/qna/q-a/httpclient-post-with-multipart-form#reply-7061 That's working fine in my test. Will integrate and do a thorough testing tomorrow.

You are looking for multipart form support where the 'other parameters' are also in the body along with the binary file.

Powerbuilder does not have native support for generating nor parsing this. It really should be part of the httpclient set of objects.

 

You are in luck - Daryl Foster built one in powerscript:

Thanks mike S

It looks like it works when we receive multi-part data. Or Am I wrong?

What I need is to send multi-part data.

you could just append it all together yourself rather than use the mulitpart form object
