Postman request returns 201, OkHttp3 request returns 400

I need to send data to API and I use OkHttp 3.9.1

OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
String path = "/api/mobileinspector";
Request.Builder builder = new Request.Builder();
URI url = URI.create(ApiManager.apiURL + path);
MultipartBody.Builder builder = new MultipartBody.Builder();
builder.addFormDataPart("MobileInspector[fio]", fio);
builder.addFormDataPart("MobileInspector[email]", email);
builder.addFormDataPart("MobileInspector[phone]", phone);
builder.addFormDataPart("MobileInspector[description]", description);
builder.addFormDataPart("MobileInspector[address]", address);
builder.addFormDataPart("MobileInspector[category]", category.toString());
MultipartBody body = builder.build();
builder.addHeader("Accept", "application/json")
    .addHeader("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data")
    .url(url.toURL())
    .post(body);
response = client.newCall(builder.build()).execute();

API returns 400, that means API did not recognized data. I tried same request in Postiman and it worked fine, returned 201 as expected.

I captured http requests from postman and from simulator with wireshark. I can't find any differences in these requests:

OkHttp made this request:

8G^|E@@`}P~r#]'z@

m'<8POST /api/mobileinspector HTTP/1.1 Accept: application/json Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=28ede98e-87b6-4701-b587-57bbcdccb802 Content-Length: 842 Host: API_CORRECT_IP Connection: Keep-Alive Accept-Encoding: gzip User-Agent: okhttp/3.9.1

And Postman made this one:

Those two parts differ a lot:

okhttp:

m'<8POST /api/mobileinspector HTTP/1.1 Accept: application/json Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=28ede98e-87b6-4701-b587-57bbcdccb802 Content-Length: 842 Host: API_CORRECT_IP Connection: Keep-Alive Accept-Encoding: gzip User-Agent: okhttp/3.9.1

Postman:

Y'<3POST /api/mobileinspector HTTP/1.1 cache-control: no-cache Postman-Token: 8e425452-a60d-4209-8868-acf9ebc9986b User-Agent: PostmanRuntime/7.1.1 Accept: / Host: API_CORRECT_IP accept-encoding: gzip, deflate content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=--------------------------067684848634261464344219 content-length: 841 Connection: keep-alive

Postman sends content as multipart/form-data, while okhttp sets multipart/mixed. This issue is almost certainly related to the content-type that is unexpected by API.

Try setting the builder like:

RequestBody requestBody = new MultipartBody.Builder()
      .type(MultipartBody.FORM)
      // ...
      .build();
