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

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

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

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

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 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
