Web Kit Form Boundary Support?

[GenerelSchwerz]

I'm facing an issue when using the reqwest::multipart part of this library. I'm currently attempting to make a POST request to a website that only accepts Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundaryXXXXXXXXXXXX.

Reqwest's current support for multipart data automatically derives the boundary and such using a standard that does not comply with what WebkitFormBoundary desires.

Current multipart boundary generation:

fn gen_boundary() -> String {
    use crate::util::fast_random as random;

    let a = random();
    let b = random();
    let c = random();
    let d = random();

    format!("{:016x}-{:016x}-{:016x}-{:016x}", a, b, c, d)
}

The request I'm attempting to emulate:

Is there any alternative for sending multipart forms, or to manually construct them?

A slight update:

This could be easily resolved if there was an option to specify the boundary of each part manually. I'm not sure if I should open a pull request or not, since I'm relatively new to rust, but if I should please let me know.

This is old but the solution I found was to use the mpart-async library, specify my own content type header, and then use the body function with reqwest.

Here is an example:

use mpart_async::client::MultipartRequest;
use mpart_async::filestream::FileStream;
use reqwest::{Body, Client, get, header};
use reqwest::header::CONTENT_TYPE;

pub async fn update_name(
    fields: Vec<(String, String)>,
) -> Result<ResultStruct> {
    let mut mpart = MultipartRequest::<FileStream>::new("------WebKitFormBoundaryhSUnLTjMGhbdZ0Qg");
    for (name, value) in fields {
        mpart.add_field(name, value);
    }

    let res = Client::new()
        .post(format!("website"))
        .header(
            CONTENT_TYPE,
            format!("multipart/form-data; boundary={}", mpart.get_boundary()),
        )
        .body(Body::wrap_stream(mpart))
        .send()
        .await?
        .json::<ResultStruct>()
        .await?;

    Ok(res)
}
