Nodejs：Unirest：如何使用 multipart/form-data 上传文件

Question

I have a nodejs application, which is trying to upload a file to a springboot application by calling an API using unirest.

Below is my code:

var express = require('express');
var unirest = require("unirest");
var fileUpload = require('express-fileupload');
var fs = require('fs');
var app = express();

app.use(fileUpload());

app.all('/api/upload', function(req, res, next) {

                    restClient(req,res).then(function(result){
                        let data = result.body;
                        res.send(data);

                    }).catch(function (err) {
                        let data = err.error;
                        res.status(err.statusCode).send(data);
                   });
  });

function restClient(req, res) {
        return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
            var reqClient = unirest(req.method, req.url);
            let file = req.files.file;
            let filepath = file.name;
            file.mv(filepath, function(err) {
                if (err) reject(err);
            reqClient.headers({
                    "cache-control": "no-cache",
                    "Connection": "keep-alive",
                    "Content-Length": req.headers['Content-Length'],
                    "Accept-Encoding": "gzip, deflate",
                    "Host": "localhost:8080",
                    "Cache-Control": "no-cache",
                    "Accept": "*/*",
                    "Authorization": "Bearer " + req.session.access_token,
                    "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
                    "content-type": req.headers['content-type']
                    });

                    reqClient.multipart([
                    {
                        "body": fs.createReadStream(filepath)
                    },
                    {
                        "body": "fileType"
                    }
                    ]);
                });

            reqClient.end(function(resClient) {
                if (resClient.error) {
                    reject(resClient);
                } else {
                    resolve(resClient);
                }
            });
        });
    }

I'm Getting the following error from the Spring-boot application.

And I have set multipart size also in application.properties file like below:

multipart.max-file-size=50MB
multipart.max-request-size=50MB

when I'm hitting from postman it's working. And the upload file size is 11KB.

Therefore, what could be the possible reason?

Answer 1

Perhaps change application.properties as below

spring.servlet.multipart.max-file-size=50MB spring.servlet.multipart.max-request-size=50MB

For spring boot 1.x try this spring.http.multipart.max-file-size=50MB spring.http.multipart.max-request-size=50MB spring.http.multipart.enabled=true Also, Check this out : https://config9.com/apps/tomcat/how-to-set-the-max-size-of-upload-file/

I guess the way you are uploading file may not be correct. you can try below code:

unirest
  .post('http://mockbin.com/request')
  .headers({'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data'})
  .field('parameter', 'value') // Form field
  .attach('file', 'path to file or pass stream here') // Attachment
  .then(function (response) {
    console.log(response.body)
  })
