Multipart form seems to strip parents from file paths

So, if I use curl to make a request like the following:

curl -F "folder/file.txt=@folder/file.txt" "https://USER:[email protected]/api/upload"

it results in the server having file.txt in a folder called folder. However, making a request with reqwest like so:

client
    .post("https://neocities.org/api/upload")
    .basic_auth("USER", Some("PASS"))
    .multipart(
        Form::new()
            .file("folder/file.txt", "folder/file.txt").await?,
            // I've also tried...
            //.part("folder/file.txt", Part::file("folder/file.txt").await?.file_name("folder/file.txt")),
    )
    .send()
    .await?;

it results in the server having file.txt alone.

I've tried investigating this for a bit now but I really don't know what's going wrong here. I'm not sure if this is my fault, reqwest's fault, or the API's fault. Some help would be much appreciated!

The first string is name sent as-is in the form. The file helper will grab path.filename() and set that as the file-name part of the field.

You can override that using Part::file(path).file_name(path).

I've tried that. Surprisingly, the result is unchanged.
