Hey, this is great! What should be the syntax of the requests whose parameters are sent as form-data in the body? So how should the "Content-Type = multipart/form-data" request be sent in .http files?

Hey Gerald. This is great. Can you run the test in the test explorer and/or in an ADO (azure devops) pipeline?
