Posting Multipart Forms in HttpUnit

[Andrew Bowes]

Hi,

Attempting to use HttpUnit to submit a multipart form that includes both hidden text fields and a file input field.

 
<form name="stockImageUpload" method="POST" action="/tradeweb/uploadImages.do" enctype="multipart/form-data"> 
<input type="hidden" name="action" value=""> 
<input type="hidden" name="followingAction" value=""> 
<input type="file" name="image"> 
</form> 

// Upload an Image 
WebForm form = response.getFormWithName("stockImageUpload"); 
UploadFileSpec uploadFileSpec = createUploadFileSpec("audi.jpg", "http://localhost:8080/files/images/tradeweb/cars/audi.jpg" :wink: ; 
form.setParameter("image", new UploadFileSpec[] {uploadFileSpec}); 
request = form.newUnvalidatedRequest(); 
request.setParameter("action", "save"); 
response = conversation.getResponse(request); 

When the request is sent to the server the text parameters are prefix with an escape character so that the "save" I entered into the action parameter is received as "\rsave".

Has anyone else experienced this? If so is there a work around/solution?

Thanks in advance
