jMeter multipart request with file upload

I have a multipart request that I construct. Each part of the request is a jsonString body and it has a set of headers for the whole request and some for individual multiaprts.

I can use jMeter's 'Send parameters with request' to add Name-value for the jsonStrings, but I cannot specify headers within each of these parts. I can specify a header manager for the entire request, but can it be specified for each of the multiparts as well?

Also, while specifying the content to upload, I have a file whose contents are compressed and encoded into bytes by a JSR223 Sampler and I would want this to be sent along with the request.

As far as I can understand this issue. You need to send a request with separate headers for multipart data.

In this case, I would suggest you send the request via the client which you use to do so and then intercept the request using Fiddler or JMeter itself.

I never came across this scenario in the past. The above solutions won't work as the intended use is different.

For anyone who's struggling with create multipart form data with JMeter. Here's an working example for me (Try copy paste my code):

  • Uncheck Use multipart-form-data
  • Paste this to Body data:
--AaB03x
content-disposition: form-data; name="name"

My name is James
--AaB03x
content-disposition: form-data; name="age"

24
--AaB03x
content-disposition: form-data; name="image"; filename="avatar.png"
Content-Type: image/png
Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary

$binarydata
--AaB03x--
  • Then in HTTP Header Manger, create a row with name is Content-type and value is multipart/form-data; boundary=AaB03x
  • Click Run to test

Note: as you can see above I fix the boundary with value AaB03x, in real case you should use an unique value

You can build the request manually, just take the following steps:

  1. Uncheck Use multipart/form-data for HTTP POST box in the HTTP Request Sampler
  2. Add HTTP Header Manager as a child of the HTTP Request Sampler and configure it to send Content-Type header with the value of multipart/form-data; boundary=your_custom_boundary

  3. Switch to "Body Data" tab of the HTTP Request Sampler and construct your request body there separating each parameter set with 

    --your_custom_boundary

See Testing REST API File Uploads in JMeter guide for a little bit more detailed explanation and demo.
