Refit: Add a file as part of a multiformdatacontent?

Created on 2 Aug 2018 · 5Comments · Source: reactiveui/refit

Is there any way to add a file as part of a multiformdatacontent:

Currently I have something like that (obviously used with a HttpClient):

const string formDataKey = @"""file""";
var formDataValue = $@"""{inputFileName}""";
var xmlInput = File.ReadAllText(inputFilePath);
var xmlInputBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(xmlInput);
var byteArrayContent = new ByteArrayContent(xmlInputBytes);
byteArrayContent.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue(inputType);

var multipartFormDataContent = new MultipartFormDataContent
{
    { byteArrayContent, formDataKey, formDataValue }
 };

 return multipartFormDataContent;

How does it translate with the refit paradigm?

Bumping this issue. I wrote the question in StackOverflow like this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51753141/multipart-content-with-refit

When I try use Multipart it always showing the exception.

Hi @albilaga Maybe a dumb question but do you have a global content type set in your Refit Implementation?
