[Http-webtest-general] unable to specify multipart/form-data for method = post

[David M. <dmc...@la...>]

I've been trying to use params and specify multipart/form-data, but it
always gets output as application/x-www-form-urlencoded.  I saw a reference
to this problem(?) from Ilya in the archive:

 

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=8191433

 

Has this been confirmed as a bug?  Is there a work-around?  Is it possible
to force the Content Type, regardless of whether a file upload is involved?

 

Here's the relevant snip from my test:

 

$webtest->run_tests(

            [

                        {

                                    .

                        },

{

                                    test_name                     =>
'translate text document from local file',

                                    terse                             =>
$terse,

                                    url                                 =>
$base_url,

                                    method                         =>
'post',

                                    params                         =>
['form', 'do_add_doc',

 
'go', '',

 
'lang_pair', $lang_pair_string_short,

 
'encoding', 'utf8',

 
'quality', '7',

 
'priority', '1',

 
'translit', 'on',

 
'type', 'local_file',

 
'file', ['C:\WebTestFiles\inputara.txt', 'C:\WebTestFiles\inputara.txt'],

 
'mime_type', 'text/plain'],

                                    text_require       =>
['C:\WebTestFiles\inputara.txt' ]

                        }

            ]

);

 

I can see the file data and the parameters in the request, but the Content
Type is always wrong and the response is not correct.  This is true, even
when I explicitly state the Content Type in the list for 'file'.

 

I use syntax similar to the snip above for other forms that do not upload a
file.  These test work, even though the Content Type is output incorrectly.

 

Any help is appreciated.
