Uploading a file with Alamofire

Question

I am unable to upload a file (an mp4) to my server. I control the server and use an npm library parse the request. Now, when I use Postman and select a test mp4 to upload to my server, I successfully receive it. Yet when using this function from Alamofire, I receive nothing.

Alamofire.upload(fileURL, to: "http://localhost/video").responseJSON { response in
    debugPrint(response) }

I send back some JSON in the response and successfully receive it in my app. No errors on either side. What am I missing?

I've not read that thats necessary and see `upload(fileURL:)` and so I'd expect that to work. I tried `multipartFormData` but got an ill formed url error. — Alex Bollbach, Apr 12 '18 at 03:58

Use MultiFormData to upload the image

Alamofire.upload(
    multipartFormData: { multipartFormData in
        multipartFormData.append(fileUrl, withName: "fileName")
    },
    to: "http://localhost/video").responseJSON { 
    response in
    debugPrint(response) 
})
