How to upload a file using zend HttpClient?

I'm using HTTP client. How to attach a file while sending a post request?

Here's my code: 

function executePost($postdata = [], $full_file_path = ''){
    self::$client = new Zend\Http\Client(null, 
            ['timeout' => 30] // updated to 30 sec
    );
    self::$client->setEncType(Zend\Http\Client::ENC_URLENCODED);

    self::$client->setUri($url);
    self::$client->setMethod($method);
    self::$client->setParameterPost($postdata);

    $response = $client->send();
    Debug::dump($response->getContent(),$label='Response',$echo=true);
}

I have tried $postdata['file_contents'] = '@'.$full_file_path; but it doesn't help.

Does anyone have an idea on how to attach file with the post data?

Thanks in advance.

Instead of using that data array try using the designated method called setFileUpload. So in your example it could look like so:

$client = new \Zend\Http\Client(null, ['timeout' => 30]);
$client->setUri($url);
$client->setFileUpload($full_file_path, 'file_contents');
$client->setMethod('POST'); // this must be either POST or PUT
$response = $client->send();

setFileUpload should also set the enc type.

There's a doc section related to that here.
