Answer 1

It seems, based on play API documentation, that there is no built-in for multipart POST bodies.

However, it may be possible to create your own multipart body using the method

post[T](body: T)(implicit wrt: Writeable[T], ct: ContentTypeOf[T]): Future[Response]

with a type T of your choice, and the corresponding Writeable and ContentTypeOf types too.

But this would imply digging in how multipart bodies work with HTTP.
