If you have an object, you can easily create a FormData object and append the names and values from that object to formData. You haven’t posted any code, so it’s a general example; var form_data = new FormData(); for ( var key in item ) { form_data.append(key, item[key]); } $.ajax({ url : ‘http://example.com/upload.php’, data : … Read more
Basically, if you specify a files parameter (a dictionary), then requests will send a multipart/form-data POST instead of a application/x-www-form-urlencoded POST. You are not limited to using actual files in that dictionary, however: >>> import requests >>> response = requests.post(‘http://httpbin.org/post’, files=dict(foo=’bar’)) >>> response.status_code 200 and httpbin.org lets you know what headers you posted with; in … Read more
I believe you could do it like this : var fd = new FormData(); fd.append( ‘file’, input.files[0] ); $.ajax({ url: ‘http://example.com/script.php’, data: fd, processData: false, contentType: false, type: ‘POST’, success: function(data){ alert(data); } }); Notes: Setting processData to false lets you prevent jQuery from automatically transforming the data into a query string. See the docs … Read more
Starting with Safari 5/Firefox 4, it’s easiest to use the FormData class: var data = new FormData(); jQuery.each(jQuery(‘#file’)[0].files, function(i, file) { data.append(‘file-‘+i, file); }); So now you have a FormData object, ready to be sent along with the XMLHttpRequest. jQuery.ajax({ url: ‘php/upload.php’, data: data, cache: false, contentType: false, processData: false, method: ‘POST’, type: ‘POST’, // … Read more
UPDATE: I have created a video on sending multipart/form-data requests to explain this better. Actually, Postman can do this. Full example: You DON’T need to add any headers, Postman will do this for you automatically. Make sure you check the comment from @maxkoryukov Be careful with explicit Content-Type header. Better – do not set it’s … Read more
When you make a POST request, you have to encode the data that forms the body of the request in some way. HTML forms provide three methods of encoding. application/x-www-form-urlencoded (the default) multipart/form-data text/plain Work was being done on adding application/json, but that has been abandoned. (Other encodings are possible with HTTP requests generated using … Read more
