.formParam(""“createur”""", “”“53500"”") =\> you have an extra double quote after createur

Then, as you’re not sending any file but only Strings, Gatling is going to encode the body into application/x-www-form-urlencoded, not multipart/form-data, even if you force the Content-Type header.

Either don’t force the Content-Type header so that the one Gatling will generate will match the one actually used for the body, or use formUpload to send a file in “attachments”
