I met this problem because I use request.js which writen base on axios
And I already set a defaults.headers in request.js

import axios from 'axios'
const request = axios.create({
  baseURL: '', 
  timeout: 15000 
})
service.defaults.headers.post['Content-Type'] = 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'

here is how I solve this
instead of

request.post('/manage/product/upload.do',
      param,config
    )

I use axios directly send request,and didn't add config

axios.post('/manage/product/upload.do',
      param
    )

hope this can solve your problem

Heard you can do this in postman

User · Answer

Unchecked the content type in Postman and postman automatically detect the content type based on your input in the run time

User · Answer

The problem is that you are setting the Content-Type by yourself  let it be blank  Google Chrome will do it for you  The multipart Content-Type needs to know the file boundary  and when you remove the Content-Type  Postman will do it automagically for you

The  Postman - REST Client  is not suitable for doing post action with setting content-type You can try to use  Advanced REST client  or others   Additionally  headers was replace by consumes and produces since Spring 3 1 M2  see https   spring io blog 2011 06 13 spring-3-1-m2-spring-mvc-enhancements  And you can directly use produces   MediaType MULTIPART FORM DATA VALUE

When I use postman to send a file which is 5 6M to an external network   I faced the same issue  The same action is succeeded on my own computer and local testing environment   After checking all the server configs and HTTP headers  I found that the reason is Postman may have some trouble simulating requests to external HTTP requests  Finally  I did the sendfile request on the chrome HTML page successfully  Just as a reference

I was having the same problem while making a POST request from Postman and later I could solve the problem by setting a custom Content-Type with a boundary value set along with it like this    I thought people can run into similar problem and hence  I m sharing my solution
