Change Content-Type and WebKitFormBoundary

[Sam Ben Yakar]

1. Every time that i create post or put request from swagger-ui
2. The header has
3. Content-Type:
   multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundarywba9BBWF69AaPg2g

and the Request params has:

1. ------WebKitFormBoundarywba9BBWF69AaPg2g Content-Disposition: form-data; name="token"
   

How can i cancel it ?

Hi, what version of swagger-ui?  I'm guessing your POST or PUT has form values in it, which is why it's setting the content type as multipart/form-data.  What does your operation look like?  If you share the json, it'd be helpful

[Sam Ben Yakar]

Hi tony,

i'm using 1.1.15, yes they are form params

Hi, that's what is expected.  The type FORM means swagger will send the data as a FORM post, and defaults to multipart/form-post as content type.  If you want to send values in an HTTP post, you can send them as either a json object, or as header/query/path parameters.  Make sense?

[Sam Ben Yakar]

Make sense,

But when is send it as a json i can't see it in me server, Using PHP. The $_REQUEST doesn't contain it

[tony tam]

You should create an object to send, such as `UserToken` and change the param type from `form` to `UserToken`.  Then swagger will let you post json like such:

{

  "token" : "abc123"

}

Your php server should consume this fine.

[Sam Ben Yakar]

Not Working,

When i change paramType to "UserToken" i get a warning 

[WARN] Unexpected paramType "UserToken", expecting "path", "query", "body", "header" or "form" 

when i make it with body and dataType="UserToken"

I can send the data but still can't see it at the server

[tony tam]

My apologies, I mistyped it.  What you did is correct, paramType = `body` and dataType = `UserToken`.  I suggest you try with curl to see that it's not a server issue.

curl -X POST -d '{"userToken":"abc123"}' -H "Content-Type:application/json" http://....

[Sam Ben Yakar]

My framework didn't support restful API

i added 

file_get_contents("php://input");

and then i can see the data.

Thanks 

[tony tam]

Ok, so you have things working now?

[Sam Ben Yakar]

Yes, Thanks!

[tony tam]
