Hey everyone, I’ve been trying to upload a simple pdf or jpeg image via ktor client but getting 422 Unprocessable Entity also debugged a code with backend guy he said the request isn’t perfect

suspend fun uploadFile(file: File, mimeType: String) = <http://client.post|client.post>(buildUrl(UPLOAD_FILE)) {
        setBody(
            MultiPartFormDataContent(
                formData {
                    append("file", file.readBytes(), 
                        Headers.build { 
                            append(HttpHeaders.ContentType, mimeType) 
                            append(HttpHeaders.ContentDisposition, "form-data; name=\"file\"; filename=\"${file.name}\"")
                        }
                    )
                }, boundary = "WebAppBoundary"
            )
        )

with backend guy he said the request isn’t perfect

so he should tell you whats wrong 😅

[Saqib ahsan]

the issue has been resolved.
append(HttpHeaders.ContentDisposition, “form-data; name=\“file\“; filename=\“${file.name}\“”) this line has some issues so I resolved by replacing

headersOf(
    HttpHeaders.ContentDisposition, "filename=${file.name}"
)
