Tool for sending multipart/form-data request with Postman

In this video tutorial, I will show you how to debug an upload script and demonstrate it with a tool (Postman) that can make requests encoded as "multipart/form-data" so that you can send also a file.

Thanks for your explanation, I am facing the same problem .when I use content-type multipart/form-data, I can't get file in my program.However, I take content-Type out .it can work . But I have a question, I don't know my website call this upload Api whether need to set request content type in multipart/form-data ?

[CyrilOkidi]

thank you soooo much, i was having that problem with post man coz i only knew post and get json data but i didn't know how to handle maltipart/form-data as i had to use an actual browser to do so.

[godofemptiness]

Thank You! This is exactly what I was looking for. I didn't want to write a front-end just to test my REST API.

[chandrababu]

Thanks a lot. Was struggling as I want to develop HTTP services and not actual UI (html..). So was using curl, REST Client, POSTMAN.. Your video helped to get it right using postman :)

Hi Valentin, I'm looking for a tool that can be configured to automatically run once each night, on a (production) Windows server, to upload two files to a rest-api end point. Would you recommend Postman for that or are there more suitable alternatives?

[jingsuantan]

hi, may i know do u have vb.net version pass data to API with json?

[siddheshkeluskar]

I'm working on web API .net. My requirement is like I want to pass file as well as one string in the same request. So my controller method is accepting object parameter for example Employee obj having EmployeeName as string and EmployeePic as byte[ ]. However I'm not able to post this with file and string in the same request. I tried with form data and added 2 rows as on 1st EmployeePic and selected image file and on 2nd row EmployeeName as key and pass Siddhesh as value. However its saying no such method found in controller and sometimes giving content type error as I'm not sure do we need to use any content type here. Please help.
