I'm trying to use Environments in Paw to help with testing a web API that uses a multipart/form-data submission of an image file. Paw will do this fine if I have a Body part name with a Value of the "File" type and drag my image file in.
file in multipart form
This produces a request part like:
--Emm5HQuI6PlP2Jo1k3KW284fY8yeluRO
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="persfront"; filename="sample_front.jpg"
Content-Type: image/jpeg
ÿØÿá ExifMM*i&;...
But when I try to abstract that file out of the normal Multipart Body window and into an Environment variable and then use that, it still puts the file contents in the request, but leaves the file information out of the part header. This: environment variables for file in form produces this request:
--2gEAMPgSTNfB0dsLImFDHYMRLjqag7Hu
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="persfront"
ÿØÿá ExifMM*i&;...
The lack of file header, normally supplied in there, causes my request to fail.
It's as if the environment variable is being evaluated prior to it being used and so the multipart form is just seeing a bunch of binary instead of a file. Is this a bug or am I doing something incorrectly?
Is there any other way to use the utility of the Environments in this situation?
Thanks!
