Httpie: Can't send POST request with multiple files

[drgomesp]

I'm trying this:

http -f POST http://localhost:8000/products/images files\[\]@B497A_1.jpg files\[\]@B497A_2.jpg

But the request only contains the last file.

Do we have support for multiple files yet?

[jakubroztocil]

Can you provide more details? There should be no problem uploading multiple files.

Iit works for me:

$ echo a > a.txt
$ echo b > b.txt

$ http -vf httpbin.org/post [email protected] [email protected]

I mean multiple files on a single array. With curl, I do it like this:

curl -i -F files\[\]=@B497A_1.jpg -F files\[\]=@B497A_2.jpg http://localhost:8000/products/images

[jakubroztocil]

I see now. It looks like there is a bug regarding multiple files (or form fields) with the same name.

[drgomesp]

Thanks for the quick response, @jakubroztocil.

I will be happy to help fixing it.

Can you point me in the right direction?

[jakubroztocil]

Thanks @drgomesp, I'm actually looking into this now.

Hello,

I couldn't find the syntax for this in the docs.

http -f post localhost:3090/api/lots photos@[/]200.png photos@[/]300.png

this didn't work.

Thanks,
Joe

@wordyallen

http -f :3090/api/lots  [email protected]  [email protected]

(Please create a new issue if you are still having an issue with the syntax.)

[wordyallen]

wow. thanks!

[tiny-village-lab]

Is this working for you ?

For me this syntax is working :

http -f :3090/api/lots photos[]@200.png photos[]@300.png

Is this still working for anybody? I can't get it to work with any of the above syntax. Running in the HTTPie demo:

$ echo b > b.txt
