Similar to the already existing question Apache HttpClient making multipart form post
want to produce a http request, holding a file and a key=val pair.
Currently the code looks like:
HttpPost post = new HttpPost("http://localhost/mainform.cgi/auto_config.htm");
HttpEntity ent = MultipartEntityBuilder.create()
.addTextBody("TYPE", "6",ContentType.TEXT_BINARY)
.addBinaryBody("upname", new File("factory.cfg"),ContentType.APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM,"factory.cfg")
.build();
This is simply applied to HttpPost object as entity and passed to the client.
Which is sent to a linux-type device (blackbox) with a lighthttp service running. The problem is that when I send this request I do not see a response from the device(physical, and the HttpEntity always returns a default 200 OK).
Through Wireshark I've noticed two differences, on which i would really appreciate to get some help: 1. The multipart elements have an additional header(comparing to the original request) - Content-transfer-encoding, which i assume may be the reason of the fail. 2. Content length differs drastically.
So the first question would be - how to deal with the Encoding?
