I face an issue with upload file when request limit the file only 1mb. It’s mean if i upload a file with 1mb, just create one request. If I upload a file 3mb then request create 3 request to divide the file. etc… This is my script for upload file, it work fine when image \< 1mb: _val UploadFilesInCls =_ _exec(session =\> {_ _val fileResourcePath = Paths.get(baseResourscesPath).toString;_ _val someFile = new File(fileResourcePath)_ _session.set(“fileResourcePath”, fileResourcePath)_ _})_ _def UploadFiles(baseUrl: String, csrfToken: String)_ _= http(“Upload file on community page”)_ _.post(baseUrl + “/file/file/upload”)_ _.headers(headerSocialCollaborationUploadFile)_ _.header(“X-CSRF-Token”, csrfToken)_ _.formUpload(“files[]”, “${fileResourcePath}/${fileName}”)_ And the request header when i upload more than 1mb: Request URL: [https://mysite.xyz/file/file/upload](https://mysite.xyz/file/file/upload) Request Method: POST Status Code: 200 content-disposition: attachment; filename=“image\_1mb\_4.jpg” content-length: 900192 content-range: bytes 0-899999/2182674 content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundaryq7EKfTV0MbgSpVNr Request URL: [https://mysite.xyz/file/file/upload](https://mysite.xyz/file/file/upload) Request Method: POST Status Code: 200 content-disposition: attachment; filename=“image\_1mb\_4.jpg” content-length: 900192 content-range: bytes 900000-1799999/2182674 content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundaryo4s0XFtwBp4JNA5U Request URL: [https://mysite.xyz/file/file/upload](https://mysite.xyz/file/file/upload) Request Method: POST Status Code: 200 content-disposition: attachment; filename=“image\_1mb\_4.jpg” content-length: 382866 content-range: bytes 1800000-2182673/2182674 content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary6gG7Uv4WMa4zp6WN I try using .**header(“Transfer-Encoding”, “chunked”) seem as it do not work,** please advice. ---

You have to split the file yourself and send as many requests as parts and manually set the content-range header. ---

You mean, using the scala language split the file then send it in many request as a parts. ---

> You mean, using the scala language split the file Not necessarily. The most efficient way would be to prepare the chunks upstream prior to running the actual load test. You can do that in whatever technology suits you. > then send it in many requests as parts. Yes ---

I had split the image file to 3 parts, and send it in to 3 requests. All request response is OK, but the body is empty instead return some information (id, name,…). My script is: def UploadFiles1(baseUrl: String, csrfToken: String) = http(“Upload 1”) .post(baseUrl + “/file/file/upload”) .headers(headerSocialCollaborationUploadFile1) .header(“X-CSRF-Token”, csrfToken) .body(RawFileBody(“C:/projects/MOE/07\_SPT/cx-opal-gatling-Release\_2.2/user-files/resources/test0104/0001\_request.dat”)) def UploadFiles2(baseUrl: String, csrfToken: String) = http(“Upload 2”) .post(baseUrl + “/file/file/upload”) .headers(headerSocialCollaborationUploadFile2) .header(“X-CSRF-Token”, csrfToken) .body(RawFileBody(“C:/projects/MOE/07\_SPT/cx-opal-gatling-Release\_2.2/user-files/resources/test0104/0002\_request.dat”)) def UploadFiles3(baseUrl: String, csrfToken: String) = http(“Upload 3”) .post(baseUrl + “/file/file/upload”) .headers(headerSocialCollaborationUploadFile3) .header(“X-CSRF-Token”, csrfToken) .body(RawFileBody(“C:/projects/MOE/07\_SPT/cx-opal-gatling-Release\_2.2/user-files/resources/test0104/0003\_request.dat”)) val UploadFiles = .exec(BP13\_SocialCollaborationLib.UploadFiles1("${base-url}")) .pause(1) .exec(BP13\_SocialCollaborationLib.UploadFiles2( “${base-url}” )) .pause(3) .exec(BP13\_SocialCollaborationLib.UploadFiles3( “${base-url}” )) .pause(3) And the response return for 3 request: HTTP response: status= 200 OK headers= Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8 Transfer-Encoding: chunked Connection: keep-alive Server: nginx Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate Pragma: no-cache X-TRACE-VIRTUAL-PATH: csl X-TRACE-VIRTUAL-URI: /file/file/upload X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains X-Xss-Protection: 1; mode=block X-Cache: Miss from cloudfront Via: 1.1 [abaf9410e0cb5238ad0ea84e120ca7c0.cloudfront.net](http://abaf9410e0cb5238ad0ea84e120ca7c0.cloudfront.net) (CloudFront) X-Amz-Cf-Pop: HKG60-C1 X-Amz-Cf-Id: WXDWTUZkFa7qMEkWtEs9c\_WBFPDitQzfHKENIS1oqQGb0qSlr3Jqfg== body= {“files”:[]} **My concern is how to join a file after i sent it as multipart.

Compare the payloads both Gatling and your actual client send. That’s something you can do, unless you’re looking for consulting.
