Add an option to upload File Attachments #99

Open surjithctly opened 3 years ago

surjithctly commented 3 years ago

I have an API endpoint which expects a multipart form data including attachment.

It would be great if you could add an option to upload file attachments.

Adding this issue after the discussion with Giovanni from Checkly

@surjithctly thanks for contributing. I hear your problem, but I'm honestly a bit skeptical on if we could do a better job than the many, many free options available for hosting/sharing files: Google drive, dropbox, iCloud, AWS S3 buckets etc. etc. Have you tried using any of those solutions?

Hello @tnolet

Ok, Here is the reason:

I have an api endpoint which expect multipart form. So I wanted to make sure the form works well using checkly. For that I have to send a multipart formdata. I'm not sure how Drive or Dropbox helps in this case?

If you could explain how can we use of 3rd party services to make the HTTP API request with multipart? I'd be happy if you add a documentation with the said example.

Thanks a lot.

@surjithctly Aha, now I understand it. I thought you meant an "upload file" feature as part of the Checkly user interface, so you can later download that file and somehow use it in your check. I understand now you want our API check runner to have POST method that can handle multipart form data submission to an endpoint.

All clear and is actually an interesting idea.

Exactly.
