builder = HTTP::FormData::Builder.new(io, "aA47")
builder.field("name", "joe")
file = IO::Memory.new("file contents")
builder.file("upload", file, HTTP::FormData::FileMetadata.new(filename: "test.txt"))
builder.finish
io.to_s # => "--aA47\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name=\"name\"\r\n\r\njoe\r\n--aA47\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name=\"upload\"; filename=\"test.txt\"\r\n\r\nfile contents\r\n--aA47--"

Instance Method Detail

def boundary : String #

[View source]
def content_type : String #

Returns a content type header with correct boundary parameter.

builder = HTTP::FormData::Builder.new(io, "a4VF")
builder.content_type # => "multipart/form-data; boundary=\"a4VF\""

def field(name : String, value, headers : HTTP::Headers = HTTP::Headers.new) : Nil #

Adds a form part with the given name and value. Headers can optionally be provided for the form part.


[View source]
def file(name : String, io, metadata : FileMetadata = FileMetadata.new, headers : HTTP::Headers = HTTP::Headers.new) #

Adds a form part called name, with data from io as the value. Metadata can be provided to add extra metadata about the file to the Content-Disposition header for the form part. Other headers can be added using headers.


[View source]
def finish : Nil #

Finalizes the multipart message, this method must be called before the generated multipart message written to the IO is considered valid.
