Multipart component

The Multipart component translates a binary body to a multipart form data body.

Short description of Multipart Form Data:

'multipart/form-data' means that no characters will be encoded. That is why this type is mostly used while uploading files to a server. So multipart/form-data is used when a endpoint expects the result of a (web) form with binary data, like the contents of a file.

Configuration​

The Multipart component has the following configuration options:

PropertyDescription
Field nameMultipart form data uses a key/value principal that allows you to configure the field name that holds the binary data.

Content type header​

The Multipart component also uses the content-type header to determine the MIME type of the binary body. After processing the binary body the component will set the content-type header to multipart/form-data.

Remarks​

  • If there is no filename defined in the CamelFileName header, Dovetail will configure the filename as UndefinedFileName in the Multipart form data body (without extension).
