upload file with multipart/form-data does not work

[dragove]

I followed this example: https://github.com/AnWeber/httpyac/tree/main/examples#multipartform-data to make a file upload request.
request.http:

### upload file
POST http://127.0.0.1:9167/testing/v2/uploadExcel HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=--WebKitFormBoundary

--WebKitFormBoundary
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="2.xlsx"
Content-Type: application/xlsx

< ./2.xlsx
--WebKitFormBoundary

but got the following output:

=== upload file ===

{
  "code": 10000001,
  "message": "Required request part 'file' is not present",
  "data": null
}

It seems the body part is missing in this request, could you help me find out if I've missed something in this request?

Exactly this error also cost me a good hour yesterday. Cause with me a missing blank line between < ./2.xlsx. and the end for the multipart/form-data. The following then worked for me (used with spring endpoint)

### upload file
POST http://127.0.0.1:9167/testing/v2/uploadExcel HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=--WebKitFormBoundary

--WebKitFormBoundary
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="2.xlsx"
Content-Type: application/xlsx

< ./2.xlsx

--WebKitFormBoundary

I wanted to look at it again and find what the spec for multipart/form-data says about this case, but haven't had the time yet. Also, my example of this, I will check again, not that I accidentally inserted the blank line there.

I switched to Rest Client in vscode, and it worked with following modification:
change "--WebKitFormBoundary" to "----WebKitFormBoundary"
Then it worked.

Also, I've succeed posting with httpyac with adding a new blank line. Thanks.

My PDF example was apparently special because it had a last blank line. This has obscured the error. The cause is that the file import removes a line break, but it is needed.

Error is fixed with version 2.21.0. thx:-)
