I am using gatling version \<gatling.version\>2.0.0-M3a\</gatling.version\> in my testing which need to upload an avi file to the server.

This curl is working fine for me:

curl -i -u admin:hEbzRirYJQFKYk -F “file1=@sample.avi” -F “file2=@video.json;type=application/json” [https://servername/api/core/v3/contents](https://servername/api/core/v3/contents)

But when I tried the gatling script:

val headers\_1 = Map(  
“type” → “multipart/form-data”,  
“Authorization” → “Basic YmFuemFpQGRvcml0b3NvZnR3YXJlLmNvbTpndWVzc21l”)

val postBodyString = “”"{“content”: {“type”: “text/html”, “text”: “

Here comes the body for a video

”},  
“parent”: “[https://doritosoftware-banzai-8134-1-essential-plus.jivelandia.com/api/core/v3/places/1006](https://doritosoftware-banzai-8134-1-essential-plus.jivelandia.com/api/core/v3/places/1006)”,  
“subject”: “This is a test subject with video”,  
“type”: “video”}"""

.post("/api/core/v3/contents")  
.headers(headers\_1)  
.bodyPart(StringBodyPart(“json”, “${postBody}”, “utf-8”, contentType)) //, “UTF-8”, “1”))  
.bodyPart(RawFileBodyPart(“binary”, “sample.avi”, “video/x-msvideo”))  
.check(bodyString.saveAs(“bodyString”))  
.check(status.is(200)))

I always get 500 and checking the server log, it seems like the attachment (avi file is null). Can you give me some advices?

Thx

Hi,

There’s been several fixes in async-http-client regarding multipart since then.  
Could you upgrade to 1.7.24, please?  
[http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails%7Ccom.ning%7Casync-http-client%7C1.7.24%7Cjar](http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails%7Ccom.ning%7Casync-http-client%7C1.7.24%7Cjar)

One more thing: do you use HTTP or HTTPS?
