Help, don't know what's wrong with my HTTP multipart POST

Question

POST /upload HTTP/1.1
Host: assets.drop.io
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2
009042316 Firefox/3.0.10
Accept: text/html,ap         


        

Answer 1

The schematic syntax of a multipart/form-data message is as follows:

Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=boundary

--boundary
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="field 1"

data 1
--boundary
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="field 2"

data 2
⋮
--boundary
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="field N"

data N
--boundary--

So the inner part boundaries are --boundary (-- followed by the boundary value) and the last is --boundary-- (-- followed by the boundary value followed by --).

In your case you are just missing the leading --.
