If the same key name in formdata

[seceba]

Hello,

I am trying to send multiple keys/value with the same key name using the post method using form-data.

However, I can only get the last one of the values with the same key name.

My goal is to upload images to the server using the same key like file[] name but I can only get the last one.

How can I handle form-data keys using the same key name?

Form-Data looks like this.

name = "John"
Age = 24
file[] = Image1.jpg
file[] = Image2.jpg
file[] = Image3.jpg
file[] = Image4.jpg

Whenever I check the incoming data, only image4 is read. What I want to do is to loop and process how many file[] there are.

When sending the Form-Data, I can make the key names as file[1] file[2], but I wonder why I can't do this by sending the same name, is this feature not supported or did I fail.

PS: Thank you very much for the beautiful package, it is a great job.

Hey,

sorry for the late reply. The parsing is performed by an old official dart library from google that was discontinued, who while I haven't dug into it heavily, I would suggest its probably one of those things thats not supported right now but should be. So you didn't fail! For now use the workaround but I will keep the issue open and i'll have a look into when I'm poking around that part of the package.

So a bit more information here - it seems dart just doesn't know how to do arrays with form data. I came across this separately trying to do a call to stripe when setting up my web store. The dart stripe library has it worked out and i'll see if I can implement what they have done.
